The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has released the list of winners for its Direct Sale and Direct Purchase (DSDP) contract for petroleum products for 2019/2020.

The DSDP contract is an arrangement put in place by the NNPC to sustain the availability of petroleum products in the country by selling crude oil to oil companies who in turn provide petroleum products covering the value of the crude.

The new contract is for a period of one year, beginning from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020. It is also the first time the national oil company will be making such contracts public.

The publication of the list of 15 companies is also coming on the heels of the promise made by the new Group Managing Director of NNPC, Mele Kyari, that he would make the operations of the oil giant transparent.

About 132 local and international oil companies submitted bids for the oil lifting contract that opened on the 3rd of May, 2019.

According to Ughamadu, the contract tender process comprised technical and commercial bid submission respectively, followed by the evaluation and shortlisting of the bidders, then commercial negotiations with prequalified companies and engagement of the successful consortia/companies by NNPC.

“Under the DSDP arrangement, the under listed fifteen (15) consortia/companies shall over the contract period, offtake crude oil and in return, deliver corresponding petroleum products of equivalent value to NNPC, subject to the terms of the agreement”, Mr Ughamadu said.
