Five local firms, among them Scangroup’s subsidiary Hill and Knowlton, are part of a consortium that has secured a Sh2.1 billion contract to oversee construction of Konza Techno City.

 

The consortium, comprising of 11 firms led by US contractor Tetra Tech, Monday signed a four-year contract with the government and is expected to lay infrastructure such as power, roads and sewerage on the 400 acres reserved for the city in addition to negotiating lease agreements.

The other local firms included in the consortium are Scion Real Estate, Kounkuey Designs Initiatives, HP-Gauff Ingenieure, and Strategia Advisors represented by Ms Christine Ng’ang’a.

The local firms will join other six firms drawn from the US, Germany, the Netherlands and the UAE.
