The ministry said the full terms and bidder requirements were laid out in the official tender pack.

The housing units form part of ongoing work to shape Madinat Salman into a new residential area built on reclaimed land off the coast of Budaiya. This is the latest in a string of housing projects launched in the area this year. Four tenders have already been floated, three of them tied to the Government Land Development Programme, with a total of 649 homes planned.
