DOHA: Qatargas, in line with the company’s vision that encourages actively contributing to local business partnership, is participating in the ‘First Government Procurement and Contracting Conference & Exhibition’ (Moushtarayat), organised by Qatar Development Bank (QDB) which is concluding today at Qatar National Convention Centre.
Qatargas’ pavilion at the exhibition showcases the supply and procurement opportunities available with the company to local contractors and suppliers. Being a socially responsible corporate citizen, Qatargas’ participation in and support for the Moushtarayat conference and exhibition stems its key strategic direction of actively contributing to social, community and local business partnerships. Qatargas’ procurement policy has already been laying emphasis on sourcing goods and services from the local market as far as possible with a special focus on local small and medium sized enterprises.
The company encourages its contractors and suppliers to give preference to utilising the services of local companies and using local materials during the execution of all Qatargas contracts.
Over the past three years, Qatargas has been organising the Contractor Forum annually to support the local businesses in which hundreds of contractors and suppliers attend. The purpose of the event is to make them aware of upcoming projects and business opportunities in Qatargas, besides seeking their feedback on the Company’s procurement process and to have two-way communication. Local banks and Qatar Chamber of Commerce also participate in this event. QDB was a strategic partner in the third Contractor Forum, which was held in November 2015. The Peninsula
