ADNOC announced that it has awarded AED54 billion ($14.7 billion) in contracts to UAE suppliers during the second half of 2025. The announcement was made at the ninth Business Partnership Forum, held alongside ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi, where ADNOC also highlighted new procurement opportunities for 2026–2027.
The contracts cover a range of services and projects across the ADNOC Group, including strategic services, drilling, maintenance, logistics, digital solutions, and major initiatives. This move is part of ADNOC’s ongoing efforts to boost the local economy by supporting domestic manufacturers and service providers while strengthening supply chain efficiency and market competitiveness.
Omar Abdulla Alnuiami, ADNOC Acting Director, Group Commercial and In-Country Value Directorate, said: “ADNOC is accelerating the UAE’s industrial growth and economic diversification and providing our partners greater visibility into our procurement pipeline as we deliver on our strategic priorities. We are channeling demand from our procurement opportunities to boost the local economy, strengthen the resilience of our supply chain and ensure that products once imported are now made in the UAE. The procurement contracts and agreements we have awarded this year are testament to this effort and we invite local and international companies to leverage our In-Country Value program to drive long-term value creation.”
As part of its efforts to support technological development within the country, ADNOC signed framework agreements valued at AED2.6 billion ($708.5 million) with several firms—including Emerson Process Management Distribution Limited, Yokogawa Middle East & Africa, ABB Transmission & Distribution Limited, Schneider Electric, and Honeywell—for products such as integrated control systems and automation technologies that will be manufactured locally. These agreements aim to further digitalization within ADNOC’s operations while enhancing operational reliability and developing local talent.
In addition to contract awards, 12 new manufacturing facilities were announced during ADIPEC by both UAE-based and international companies. Enabled through ADNOC’s In-Country Value (ICV) program, these investments are intended to build up industrial capacity across key zones in Abu Dhabi as well as other emirates.
ADNOC stated its goal is to locally manufacture AED90 billion ($24.5 billion) worth of products by 2030 through its procurement activities. Since 2018, its ICV program has redirected AED242 billion ($65.9 billion) into the national economy while helping create 18,500 jobs for Emiratis in the private sector. The company aims for an additional AED200 billion ($54.5 billion) economic impact over the next five years.
At this year’s forum—which included participation from government entities as well as private sector organizations—ADNOC introduced new systems designed to simplify supplier engagement processes and improve transparency for businesses working with the company.
