From the Arabian Business, dateline 2011-02-16:
Sime Darby, the Malaysian palm oil, automotive and industrial group, said its engineering division is being sued by Emirates International Energy Services, following a dispute over bid tenders.
…
EMAS filed its lawsuit in Abu Dhabi in January, alleging that it ensured that Sime Darby Engineering was pre-qualified and tendered for work on seven oil and gas projects in the UAE with an estimated budget of $5.7bn, the Financial Times reported yesterday.
In each case, Sime withdrew from submitting formal tender bids shortly before the deadlines, according to the report.
