The Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development has begun the search for a firm to draw up the master plan for Rasmalé.
The Rasmalé project is the largest development project being led by President Dr Mohamed Muizzu’s administration.
In an announcement, the ministry invited all interested and qualified parties to submit proposals for consultancy services to prepare the project’s master plan. The work will be carried out in line with the project’s terms of reference (TOR).
The ministry said no pre-bid meeting will be held for the tender. Bidders who need clarification on preparing their proposals can send questions by email before 12:00 pm on 16 November 2026.
Proposals must be submitted on 2 December 2026 at 9:00 am at the ministry, where the bids will also be opened.
The government launched the Rasmalé project to bring a lasting solution to the country’s housing needs and to drive urban development. It is one of the largest and most historic projects of its kind ever undertaken in the Maldives.
Housing Minister Dr Abdulla Muththalib said this week that reclaiming all 1,009 hectares of Rasmalé is expected to cost around USD 330 million, under the government’s estimate.
