SOCAR has extended the term for selection of the consultant for management of construction of the carbamide plant in Sumgait and for the independent inspection.
SOCAR press office reported that according to the tender commission’s decision, the deadline of the tender proposals is extended till May 30, 2014.
“The reason for this step was that the potential contenders needed extra time to submit a more competitive tender proposal,” said the same source.
The companies with 10 year international experience in performing the similar works, especially in the Near East and former USSR republics, possessing required technical possibilities and experienced staff could apply for the bids.
The main project works at the carbamide plant started in September 2013, construction started on February 18, 2014 and it will be completed in 2016.
Capacity of the plant running on natural gas will total 1200 tons of ammonia a day and 2000 tons of carbamide a day.
The contract on design, purchase-sale and construction of the plant on a turn-key-basis was signed with the South Korean Samsung Engineering. The company will carry out construction and assembly works, testing and train the employees.
The cost of the project is 500 million Euro before tax. The project will be funded from the state budget of Azerbaijan.
