PROCUREMENT AND TENDERING (T062) The detailed drawings were handed over to me after all approvals from the client (TOTAL E&P), End Users (TOTAL Pension Fund) and the Operations Team of CSP. I prepared a Bills of Quantities for the following work packages: Demolition (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and

Lifts), New Works which includes Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, New Lifts, New Borehole, WTP and STP. Due to the nature of business/projects being done in TOTAL E&P Nigeria, there is portfolio of registered contractors that have been prequalified and registered in the TOTAL data base. A Call for Tender was sent to contractors (minimum of 5) for each work package via ARIBA. I prepared and coordinated the tender package. The package contains the following: Drawings, BOQs, Structural details, MEP Layouts and the Conditions of Contract, which is a bespoke one tailored to TOTAL E&P contract procedures. After the tender packages were sent to the various contractors, as part of the tenderers responsibility a 2 calendar days is normally given to contractors to send an RFI and clarifications. I managed all RFIs and queries. All amendments were done and new revisions were sent back to contractors. When the tenders were returned after 2 weeks, I was involved in the Technical and Commercial Analysis. The technical bid analysis was done first. Only those contractors that scaled through were considered in the commercial analysis. The works were awarded to contractors based on their ability to demonstrate both commercial and technical capabilities.
