Contracting & Trading (KCT) has set a clear timeline for its attainment of
third-part certification, a move that will allow the company to broaden the
scope of its bidding to also encompass large public projects as part of the
Q2022 build-up.
Mohamed Moataz
AlKhayat, CEO of Khayyat Contracting & Trading (KCT), notes: “Presently the
company is not bidding – we don’t have third-party certification – but if we
get certification we will be able to tender for a wider variety of jobs, as our
company is also focusing on the 2022 FIFA World Cup.”
According to
estimates the Qatari Government has a planned spend of $200bn on competitively
tendered public works, of which an approximate $140-$145bn will be spent on
infrastructure.
Adnan Qamar,
SHEQ manager at Khayyat Contracting & Trading (KCT), says: “Right now we
are not going for infrastructure jobs, but with certification these bids will
also be within our scope.”
“For this we
are focusing on-site on-the-job training for our workforce on all quality and
HSE procedures in order to achieve the ISO standards necessary for third-party
accreditation.”
Outlining the steps in place, Qamar notes the signing off of existent
company procedures followed by the
proper training on-site and a management reviewed internal audit on progress.
Qamar sums: “Hopefully we
will be going for the first stage certification audit by September and achieve
that accreditation in October, which will qualify us to undergo the second
stage certification audit in January 2014 and so receive the full accreditation
by February.”
Alongside
these steps complete KCT is also looking to receive performance evaluations
from of all its subcontractors and suppliers – documents which the contractor
is duly collecting as we speak.
