Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has awarded contracts worth AED 65.7 billion in the first half of 2025 to nearly 400 local suppliers, contractors, and service providers, as part of its ongoing efforts to stimulate socio-economic development, empower national businesses, and generate long-term value for the UAE.
These contracts span key sectors including drilling, logistics, operational support services, and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC). The awards underscore ADNOC’s strategic use of its procurement power to strengthen domestic supply chains and support private sector growth through its successful In-Country Value (ICV) programme.
“The awarding of contracts valued at AED 65.7 billion to local suppliers highlights ADNOC’s strong commitment to driving economic and industrial progress in the UAE,” said Dr. Saleh Al Hashmi, Director of Commercial & ICV Directorate at ADNOC. “These partnerships help boost productivity, enhance competitiveness, and create highly-skilled private sector jobs for Emiratis.”

Future Investments and Digital Access

To enhance transparency and accessibility, ADNOC recently launched the “Make it with ADNOC” mobile app, which provides suppliers, SMEs, and entrepreneurs with detailed insights into its procurement needs and long-term opportunities.
