The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) has hosted its maiden Vendor Engagement Seminar, reaffirming its commitment to strengthening local content and participation in Ghana’s oil and gas industry. The event, which forms part of GNPC's 40th anniversary celebrations, brought together Ghanaian businesses, vendors, and suppliers under the theme "Promoting Local Content and Local Participation through Vendor Engagement". The summit aimed to strengthen supplier relationships, enhance transparency, and deepen collaboration with stakeholders, while underscoring GNPC’s commitment to efficient procurement practices, local content development, and sustainable supply chain partnerships. For us, Local Content is not merely a regulatory requirement. With GNPC’s tender process now fully digital, she added that excuses like traffic delays or narrowly missed deadlines no longer hold, as the system automatically locks at closing time.
