ADNOC has announced the awarding of commercial contracts amounting to 54 billion dirhams (14.7 billion dollars) to local suppliers, slated for the second half of 2025. The company also outlined its future procurement strategies.
During the ninth edition of the “ADNOC Partners Forum,” held in conjunction with “ADIPIC 2025,” the available business partnership opportunities for the private sector were discussed as part of its procurement plan for 2026-2027.
The forum was themed “Partnership in Vision and Achievement.” Omar Abdullah Al-Nuaimi, Acting Head of the Commercial Affairs and Local Value Added Division at ADNOC, stated:
“ADNOC continues its efforts to contribute to accelerating industrial growth and economic diversification in the UAE, providing our partners with a clearer view of our procurement plans as we strive to meet our strategic priorities.
Through the available purchasing opportunities, we aim to direct demand to support the national economy’s growth, enhance our supply chain resilience, and ensure the production of many products that were previously imported into the UAE.
The contracts and agreements we have awarded this year confirm the success and effectiveness of these efforts, and we encourage both local and international companies to take advantage of our program to enhance national content, fostering long-term value.”
In conjunction with the forum, ADNOC signed framework agreements for products to be manufactured in the UAE with Emerson Process Management Distribution Limited, Yokogawa Middle East & Africa, ABB Power Grids, and Schneider Electric.
Honeywell was among those, with an agreement valued at 2.6 billion dirhams (708.5 million dollars), covering integrated control and safety systems, emergency shutdown systems, process monitoring and control systems, as well as fire and gas leak detection systems.
As part of its procurement objectives, ADNOC aims to purchase locally sourced products worth 90 billion dirhams (24.5 billion dollars) by 2030. The ADNOC National Content Program has contributed to redirecting 242 billion dirhams (65.9 billion dollars) into the UAE economy.
Additionally, it has enabled the employment of 18,500 skilled nationals in the private sector since 2018, aiming to redirect an additional 200 billion dirhams (54.5 billion dollars) into the national economy over the next five years.
