(1) INTRODUCTION
Nigerian Agip Oil Company Limited (NAOC) intends to put in place two (2) Pipeline Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation (EPCI) and start-up Open Contracts each based on the following:

- Swamp Area Operations: Pipeline Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation (EPCI) and start-up.
The Project execution for each shall commence with effect from Q4-2023 to Q4-2027.
The strategy is foreseen to award two (2) contracts for each Operational location (Land & Swamp) but bidders shall be allowed to participate in both locations. However, no bidder shall win more than one contract/location and in the event that a particular bidder is identified as the lowest bidder in more than one location, the location with the highest estimated contract value shall be awarded to lowest bidder, while the other location will be assigned to the second lowest bidder for the relevant location, provided the second lowest bidder offer is not exceeding the lowest bidder one more than 10%. In case the second lowest bidder is above 10%, a negotiation process will be carried out for the other location in order to reduce the price gap to be lower than 10% with respect to lowest bidder.
