GCC postal depts to benefit from joint contract

Postal corporations in the GCC hope to save up to 25 per cent as they jointly awarded a contract to supply plastic bags and envelopes to a Saudi Arabian company. A joint regional committee set up under the auspices of the GCC Secretariat General decided the procurement of these supplies after a bidding process in which many regional firms took part.

The Saudi company won the contract. The products to be supplied match international standards. The joint committee was headed by Qatar.

Qatar Post’s head of finance, Jassem Al Suwaidi, presided over the meet. Kuwait did not attend it.
