Contracting is an essential economic pillar for achieving economic growth. The country should pay attention to the local contractor and contribute towards its development, especially infrastructure contractors for roads and bridges. The success or failure of any Sudanese project also depends on the economic feasibility studies which require a high level of detail and professionalism, credibility, and interest. The local consultants and contractors in this aspect will have the biggest impact on the success of engineering and construction projects. It is of utmost importance for the assessment and pre-qualification of credible construction companies in Sudan, similar to international standards, in order to ensure the success of projects during the construction phase looking at elements for timely project delivery, meeting quality standards, as well applying transparent principles and fair competition in engineering tenders.
