Mannai Information Technology KSA (Mannai IT KSA) has been awarded a major contract by China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC). The Saudi subsidiary of Mannai Corporation QPSC, a diversified business group headquartered in Doha, Qatar, announced the news today.

The contract covers Mechanical, Electrical, Public Health Services and Technology works. These works are for a landmark development within one of Riyadh’s flagship giga-projects.

The development forms part of one of Saudi Arabia’s most ambitious urban transformation initiatives. It supports the Kingdom’s vision of creating world-class destinations that bring together culture, commerce and contemporary urban living. The project also reflects the scale and ambition of Vision 2030.

Under the contract, Mannai will deliver the full scope of mechanical, electrical and public health services systems. It will also deliver the technology systems that will make the development smart, connected and future-ready. The project will run for two years on a fast-tracked programme.

Mannai will draw on its experience from FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. The company delivered mission-critical technology and integration systems for venues and related infrastructure. That work was completed to immovable deadlines and high international standards. This background positions Mannai to meet the schedule, technical complexity and quality demands of a fast-tracked giga-project.

Moreover, Mannai will combine MEP and technology contracting under a single, integrated delivery model. This approach will reduce interface risk and accelerate programme certainty. It will also provide a seamless path from design coordination through to testing, commissioning and handover.

Commenting on the award, Lakshimi Narayanan, General Manager, Mannai Information Technology KSA, said: “We are honoured to be entrusted by China Harbour Engineering Company with this iconic development, one of the most significant destinations taking shape in Riyadh today. This award reflects the confidence our partners place in Mannai’s ability to deliver complex, integrated MEP and technology programmes at pace. We bring the same discipline and technology leadership that we demonstrated on FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and we are proud to contribute to the Kingdom’s transformation under Vision 2030.”

Liu Xuanyuan, CHEC’s Project Director, also commented on the collaboration: “We are pleased to welcome Mannai as our MEP and technology systems partner for this landmark development in Riyadh. The successful delivery of a project of this scale requires strong collaboration, technical expertise and a shared commitment to quality, safety and programme objectives. We look forward to working closely with Mannai and all project stakeholders to deliver integrated, high-quality solutions that contribute to the successful completion of the development and support Riyadh’s continued growth.”

The award is a landmark milestone for the Riyadh-headquartered company. It also underscores the rapid growth of the Group’s footprint in Saudi Arabia.

Mannai IT KSA delivers across six business domains. These are Connected Buildings & Cities, Digital Transformation & Intelligent Platforms, and Applications, AI & Cybersecurity. They also include Cloud Transformation & Digital Workspace, Enterprise & Hyperscale Infrastructure, and EPC & Technology Contracting.

Mannai’s momentum in the Kingdom was showcased at LEAP 2026. The company drew strong engagement from government entities, giga-project developers and enterprise customers. To date, Mannai has signed more than 120 Memoranda of Understanding with global technology OEMs and strategic consultants. This partner ecosystem allows it to bring suitable solutions to Saudi Arabia’s most ambitious developments.

With this award, Mannai IT KSA adds another major programme to its portfolio in Riyadh.
