KPC floats six tenders worth 76.8 million dinars to boost oil, infrastructure projects
The Supreme Procurement Committee for Tenders at Kuwait Petroleum Corporation and its subsidiaries has opened six bids for projects spanning the oil, services, and health sectors on behalf of Kuwait Oil Company, with a combined value of approximately 76.8 million dinars.
The tenders are part of ongoing efforts to support operational processes and enhance infrastructure efficiency, with the largest share, around 70 million dinars, allocated to the supply of rock drilling heads and wellheads essential for oil exploration and production activities.
In the first tender, the committee approved awarding the contract for supplying rock drilling heads to Nouf Energy Kuwait Company at a final value of 24.54 million dinars, after it emerged as the sole bidder for the project, reports Al-Rai daily.
Similarly, another major contract for the supply of rock drill bits was awarded to Baker Hughes FZE at a value of 37.99 million dinars. The company was also the only bidder, making this one of the largest contracts among the approved tenders.
In the wellheads supply project for onshore exploration wells, competition was observed between two firms. Al-Jalila Trading and Contracting Company submitted the lowest bid at 7.6 million dinars, compared to 9.56 million dinars offered by Schlumberger.
The committee also addressed the gas turbine rehabilitation project, awarding the contract to Dan General Trading and Contracting Company for approximately 1.37 million dinars, further supporting operational reliability in the energy sector.
In the health sector, a separate four-year agreement was proposed for the supply of dental implant tools and equipment. Alpha Medical Company submitted a bid valued at 1.97 million dinars, remaining unchanged through the evaluation process and facing no competing offers.
Meanwhile, the committee rejected two bids submitted for the sanitary landfill inspection and maintenance project. Offers were received from Jimco General Trading and Contracting Company and Al-Saif United Company; however, neither met the required criteria during the final review stage.
The latest tender outcomes reflect continued investment by Kuwait’s oil sector in strengthening upstream capabilities, maintaining critical infrastructure, and supporting associated services, while also extending procurement activity into essential healthcare supplies.
