The next phase is a pitch day, where companies will present their proposals to a panel composed of managers and specialists from Petrobras. In the evaluation, criteria such as the business model, implementation of the solution at the end of the project, consistency and competitiveness of the proposal, impact and value generation, scalability and comprehensiveness of the solution are taken into account.
The first selection in Petrobras’s Technology Solutions Acquisition module, which had million-dollar investments, was published in 2021 by Petrobras, and about seven companies have already been chosen by the company through the CPSI, Public Contract for Innovative Solutions, an instrument that brought speed to contracting processes and had rules incorporated into Petrobras’s Bidding and Contracting Regulations.

After the innovation contract, the technology solution that performs best and demonstrates added value to Petrobras’s business may be contracted for a period of two years, which may be extended for an additional two, for large-scale supply.
