Lobito refinery phase one seeks gate valves, with responses due 29 October

China Second Chemical Engineering is seeking gate valves for phase one of the 10-million-tonne-per-year Lobito refinery EPC project in Angola. Notice XBCG262052 is signed 23 October and appears in the platform’s 26 October listing; its overseas classification follows the project location.

Package XBCG262052/01 specifies gate valves but provides no sizes, pressure classes, materials, quantities or aggregate value. The 10-million-tonne annual figure describes the refinery project in the notice, not the equipment package.

Applicants need relevant manufacturing qualifications or distribution authorisation, supply references and satisfactory contract performance, and products must meet the applicable quality standards. Consortia are not accepted. The procurement is associated with the contractor’s Northwest branch, while the physical project is in Angola.

Free document access runs from 16:00 on 23 October to 16:00 on 26 October. Questions close at 16:00 on 27 October and responses at 16:00 on 29 October, all Beijing time. No response security or CA certificate is required, and quotations are submitted online. No successful supplier is announced.
