Gou Awards Contract to Equip AI Data Center Over 12 Months
Key Facts
Gou announced on October 29, 2026, that it had awarded Full Technical Triangle Company (3T) a project to supply and install infrastructure for a cloud data center for artificial intelligence, with implementation set to span 12 months. The contract includes advanced computing systems from Dell Technologies equipped with graphics processing units from NVIDIA. The company aims to expand its artificial intelligence and cloud computing services for public- and private-sector clients through its business sector. The announcement places the project within Gou’s drive to expand its digital services and diversify revenue sources. But the company said the financial impact would be determined later, after the requirements and procedures for signing the contract are completed.
The project is valued at 185,912,402 Saudi riyals, excluding value-added tax, according to the company’s disclosure to the Saudi Exchange, as reported by Okaz Invest. The contract’s 12-month term covers the supply, installation and deployment of the technical infrastructure. This means the agreement covers equipping the center, rather than announcing that it has begun operations. The disclosure did not specify a detailed schedule for implementation stages within that period. It also did not announce an expected date for services to begin for customers.
The scope of work includes servers, supporting systems and the technical licenses required to operate and manage the data center. The equipment includes advanced Dell systems fitted with NVIDIA graphics processing units, Reuters reported, citing the disclosure. These specifications enable the project to provide the technical infrastructure associated with the artificial intelligence and cloud computing services Gou said it was targeting. The announcement did not say the center had entered service or that the company had begun providing those services. It also did not specify the scale of the equipment or how its components would be distributed.
Gou awarded the project to Full Technical Triangle Company, which Reuters described as an authorized partner of Dell Technologies. That role links the contractor to supplying and installing the systems specified in the scope of work. The project is part of a strategy the company said aims to expand digital services and diversify revenue. Gou also linked the investment to expanding services for government and private entities through its business sector. The announcement did not estimate the revenue these services could generate or their expected contribution to the company’s results.
The disclosure does not specify the data center’s location, planned computing capacity or energy requirements. As a result, there are no details to assess its operating scale or the resources needed to run it. The company also did not disclose the contract’s financial impact, saying it would be determined later after the necessary requirements and procedures for signing the contract are completed. Completing those procedures remains the next step the company linked to disclosing the financial impact. The contract sets the implementation period at 12 months.
