Oman’s Ministry of Finance, in coordination with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources, has issued a Request for Qualification (RFQ) for the Design, Construction, Financing, Operation and Maintenance (DBFOM) of a Veterinary Quarantine project under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework. 

The project will be delivered under a DBFOM model — a form of PPP in which a private entity is responsible not only for designing and constructing the facility, but also funding, operating it for a defined period, and maintaining it once operational. This structure is intended to leverage private sector efficiency and investment capacity to deliver a fully operational quarantine facility. A veterinary quarantine facility plays a critical role in protecting animal and public health by controlling the entry and movement of livestock, animals, and related products into the country — ensuring compliance with health regulations, disease prevention standards, and international trade requirements. Such facilities help safeguard against the spread of transboundary animal diseases and support safe import/export processes.

The deadline for obtaining qualification documents is 13 March 2026, and clarification requests are due 20 March 2026. The qualification documents have to be submitted by or on 28 March 2026. Further details can be obtained by emailing: ppp.daqc@mof.gov.om.
