Gambia Launches Block A1 Bid Round

Thursday, February 10, 2022

The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy of The Gambia has announced the launch of the 2022 Licensing Round for Block A1. Originally announced last October, Block A1 became available in August 2021 after BP exited the license.

Prospective bidders are invited to download the Request for Proposal (RFP) which has been published on the Ministry’s website at https://www.mope.gm/downloads.

To be eligible to participate in the RFP, Bidders are required to register their interest with the Petroleum Commission by sending a completed Form A – Registration Letter (set out in Annex 2 of the RFP and published on the Ministry’s website) to [email protected], and the Director General [email protected], at least 6 weeks prior to the Proposal Deadline.

The Commission has prepared an online data room, the E-Bid Platform, where Bidders may download the RFP, relevant legislation, the Model PEPLA, as well as various other documents that may assist in the preparation of their Proposal.

Once the Bidder has registered its interest with the Commission using Form A – Registration Letter (Annex 2 of the RFP), the Bidder will receive an automatically generated email with instructions on how to access the E-Bid Platform, including how to set up a user name and password.

Note that registering as a Bidder and obtaining access to the E-Bid Platform, does not bind the entity to participate in the Licensing Round.

The proposal deadline is the 6 June 2022, with electronic submission through the E-Bid Platform.
