I. Commencement Date
Company desires to commence operations subject to the Agreement upon contract award circa
3Q2025
II. Contract Term
The Specified Term of the Agreement shall be three (3) years. Company shall have the option to
extend the Specified Term for two (2) year following the initial 3-year term.
III. Nigerian Content
The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) in line with its vision for Nigerian Content (NC) enacted
the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act 2010 (NOGICD Act).
NNPC/EEPNL PSC requires Contractors to comply with the NOGICD Act together with the attached
Schedule thereto and any regulations issued pursuant to the NOGICD Act.
Under the NOGICD Act, the term Nigerian Content is defined as:
"The quantum of composite value added to or created in the Nigerian economy by a systematic
development of capacity and capabilities through the deliberate utilization of Nigerian human,
material resources and services in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.”
A Nigerian Company is defined as a company formed and registered in Nigeria in accordance with
the provision of Companies and Allied Matters Act with not less than 51% equity shares by Nigerians.

Bidder shall consider Nigerian content as an important element of their overall project development
and management philosophy for project execution. (Section 2, NOGICD Act)
As required under the NOGICD Act, every Bidder shall prepare and submit a detailed NC plan
satisfactory to Company. Such NC plan shall demonstrate how Bidder will give first consideration to
Nigerian goods and services. Examples include staffing, labour, equipment ownership, fabrication,
training etc.
Contractor or Bidder’s failure to comply with the NOGICD Act or demonstrate commitment to
Nigerian Content development is deemed an offence and liable upon conviction to a fine of five per
cent of the project sum for each project in which the offence is committed or cancellation of the
project.
Also note that in line with Section 104(2) of the NOGICD Act 2010, the sum of one per cent (1%) of
the contract/subcontract cost for this service shall be deducted at source and paid into the Nigerian
Content Development Fund established for purposes of funding the implementation of Nigerian
content development in the Nigeria oil and gas industry.
Company believes that in successfully achieving the above, the outcome will be reduced costs and
increased availability of some goods and services over time. Furthermore the full cycle, long-term
profitability of offshore oil developments will be enhanced by the ability of current projects to generate
benefits for Nigerians and Nigerian businesses.
Please note that taxes and duties are not considered in the measurement of Nigerian content.
Contractor shall maintain and preserve and shall cause its subcontractors to maintain and preserve
accurate documentation and data (including but not limited to written and electronic records books of
accounts, correspondences, plans, permits, licenses, drawings, payroll records, memoranda,
receipts and documentation of related systems and controls) pertaining to all information provided in
Part 5-Exhibit H-Appendix 2 - NC Performance Template. Note: that non full compliance with
Nigerian Content directives is a fatal flaw in the tender Evaluation process
IV. Subcontractors and Unincorporated Joint Ventures
In the event more than one entity may be needed to perform the Services, all other entities proposed
to have a part in the Services (whether Bidder is a corporation or an unincorporated joint venture)
must be placed in a subcontractor role. No such outside entities will be a party to any Agreement
entered into between Company and Contractor, and Contractor will be required to take full
responsibility for any such entity's performance under the Agreement. Tenderer shall identify and

of governmental authorities with respect to the performance of its contracts. Company does not
expect nor authorize Contractor or its sub-contractors to take any action on behalf of Company in the
performance of the work, conduct of operations or rendition of services that would subject either
party to liability or penalty under any laws, rules, regulations or decrees of any governmental
authority.
Company policies require that Company book all assets and record all transactions properly. In

might influence such employees' judgment in handling the Company's business. In this connection,
Company employees are not allowed to accept any gifts or extravagant entertainment.

Company of these policies and similar action has been taken worldwide by all companies with which
Company is affiliated.

Company and Bidder or any negotiations between Bidder and Company, shall not create or be
deemed to create any binding legal relationship or contract or be construed to do so between
Company and any Bidder. Only when a written Agreement is signed by the successful Bidder and
