Road building (prime US Government contract) Iraq

Consulting
Business implementation - Iraq
An international trading company with a prime US Government contract approached Babylon Gates. The company did not have any presence on the ground and could not attend the post award briefing. It required approximately $10m letter of credit to be established with red line clauses. Babylon Gates attended the meetings, explained to the US government why the project would start late, briefed the client, negotiated and arranged the letter of credit with the Trade Bank of Iraq, and the trading company was able to proceed with its contract.
Project implementation Iraq
An international security company had the mandate to secure the men and materials for a foreign trading house on an infrastructure project in Iraq. The security company did not have a presence in Iraq. Babylon Gates in Iraq supplied accommodation and office services for the security company in Baghdad. The foreign trading company was unable to commence the project due to bureaucracy. Babylon Gates opened doors, and the project commenced and is now running successfully.
