Interested parties are required to submit their bids via the Beelan Portal before May 25, 2025. The bid opening is scheduled for May 26 and a bid security of MVR 121,000 must be submitted as part of the application.

The Ministry of Education stated that schools in Hulhumalé are currently facing the highest demand in the country. In response to this, the Ministry has also announced plans to begin construction of two new schools in Hulhumalé within the year to further ease the burden on existing facilities.
