1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTRACTORS

1.1 Prequalification Requirements

1.1.1 Saudi Aramco issues Invitations to Bid (ITB) only to prequalified contractors that are included on General Bid Slates (GBS). This Prequalification Questionnaire (PQQ) requests specific information from contractors to allow Saudi Aramco evaluate and assess capabilities, performance, capacity and experience; all in relation to the GBS’s general scope of work. After careful review and evaluation, contractors successfully prequalified by Saudi Aramco are included on a GBS. Successful prequalification for a GBS is not a commitment for future work with Saudi Aramco.

1.1.2 This PQQ consists of two parts. Part A requests general information including corporate information, EPC capabilities, quality, project controls, procurement and safety. Part B requests information specific to the scope of work of GBS including relevant work experience, human resources and equipment.

1.1.3 When work is to be performed in Saudi Arabia, legal registration in Saudi Arabia and Saudi Aramco is not a prerequisite to receive an ITB. However, legal registration in Saudi Arabia and registration with Saudi Aramco is required before the bid closing date of the corresponding ITB.

1.1.4 Contractor shall submit together with its submittal the enclosed Declaration attested by a person authorized to represent and act on behalf your company. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in disqualification from this PQQ.

1.1.5 Submittals by Contractor for this PQQ shall provide accurate, detailed and most updated information relevant to the generic scope discussed herein.

1.1.6 An effective response to this PQQ may involve a significant commitment of Contractor’s resources. Saudi Aramco does not provide reimbursement for any expenses incurred by Contractor as a result of responding to this PQQ.

1.1.7 The contents of this PQQ, and Contractor’s prequalification or failure to prequalify for a particular GBS are confidential. Contractor shall not use Saudi Aramco prequalification status in marketing or promotional material or discuss with third parties unless approved in advance in writing by Saudi Aramco. Contractor’s failure to maintain confidentiality may result in removal from the GBS or suspension from bidding on work with Saudi Aramco.

1.2 Submittal Requirements

1.2.5 A Saudi Aramco Prequalification Evaluation Team (PQET) will evaluate your submittal. The information will be assessed and verified to include visits to ongoing projects or work sites, management of field offices, and interacting with clients that have your company under contract.
