Proposal submissions are expected to start this Monday (31). In the notice, Total requires pricing for three to five weekly dockings, in addition to requiring that the offered logistics unit has a free and covered area for storing equipment and work bases for the employees of the multinational and outsourced workers.
The contract duration is estimated to be seven months to one year, and Total plans to sign the agreement by the end of this year 2020. The multinational does not specify the location of the base; however, according to experts, proposals related to the Port of Açu may have better chances, since the campaign will be in the northern part of the Campos Basin.
Companies such as Brasil Port, Brasco, Dome, Technip, InterMoor, and Port of Açu are considered potential companies for the logistics base tender for Total.
