The project involves transforming the entire government operations in the holy city of Medina to e-government services and has entered its third phase.
MDeC and its Saudi partner, Integrated Visions, were given the task of implementing the project as part of a bigger 10-year programme to turn Medina, located about 280 miles from Mecca, into a modern city, he told Bernama today.
As consultant, the MDeC-Integrated Visions joint venture company had since 2004 undertaken strategic planning and training to lay the groundwork for the e-government project.
"We have just been given the request for proposal. We have submitted the bids and are waiting for the results to identify the partners," Abdullah Kadir said.
"The e-government project is worth a few hundred million riyal," he added.
Apart from Medina, MDeC also provides consultancy services in Bahrain, Qatar, Iran and Syria.
