In such instances, a prior written waiver will be required from the Head of the Function. The GRC function will review compliance with the provisions of this manual as part of their audit scope and procedures. Where the need arises, the GCEO is authorized to grant exceptions to the application of this policy, and thereafter seek ratification from the NNPC Limited Board. 1.4 Users This manual applies to all sub-functional areas in the Supply Chain Function. It also applies to other functions (e.g., Finance, Legal, Corporate Planning & Strategy, Corporate Communications, etc.) as reflected in the Relationship Map. 16 NNPC Limited SCM Processes and Procedures 1.5 Updates to the Manual It is intended that this manual will be updated every two years, unless there is a specific requirement for an immediate revision in line with changes in NNPC Limited’s business. Such updates will be duly communicated to all relevant departments and units. It is instructive to note that the scope of processes addressed in this manual covers the important areas selected by NNPC management. Accordingly, it is anticipated that additional policies and procedures may be identified and incorporated in the future.

Procurement categorisation enhances strategic sourcing of goods, works, and services. Objectives The Category Management process is designed to: • • • • Define the sourcing and category strategy to guide procurement activities in the business. Define and assign buying channels to strategic procurement categories. Develop a system that ensures the periodic review of procurement categories in line with business need and supply risk profiles. Proactively drive sourcing decisions in compliance with the local content targets as specified in the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act, 2010 and related regulations. The Kraljic matrix serves as a first level lens to categorize procurement items sourced by the organization. Figure 1 Kraljic's Matrix 29 NNPC Limited SCM Processes and Procedures 3.1 Category Management Policies S/N Description 1. Sourcing Strategy for Procurement A sourcing strategy and plan shall be developed to align with category management strategy. The sourcing strategy articulates the approach to the activity, and defines details such as the method of tender, key milestones, selection criteria/success factors etc. 2. Procurement Categorisation On an annual basis or more frequently where required, the Supply Chain Management shall conduct a review of the classification of the procurement items to ensure the current classification is reflective of the supply volumes, supply risk and profit impact on the organisation. 3. Strategic Items Strategic items have a high-profit impact and high supply risk. Each contract (usually provided by a handful of suppliers) in this segment is unique and focuses upon the shared gains that equal partners enjoy in a collaborative relationship. Purchasing approaches to consider here include using full purchasing power, substituting products or Suppliers, and placing high-volume orders as well as leveraging long-term supplier commitment or making the item in-house rather than buying it. For strategic items, the specific sourcing operational strategy shall be developed in consultation with the key business stakeholders and the Executive Team. 4. Leverage Items These items have a high-profit impact but low supply risk. Examples include computer supplies, lubricants for refineries, fuel for vehicles and generators, etc. For this category of supplies, there is a reasonable number of suppliers of the commoditized goods and services, and the Suppliers can be easily substituted as their offerings are more or less the same. The approach for this category is to leverage the balance of power which is tilted to the organization and negotiate lower prices from the vendors as well as develop long-term supply relationships. For leverage items, Group Supply 30 NNPC Limited SCM Processes and Procedures 3.1 Category Management Policies Chain Management (Corporate Headquarters) is responsible for the negotiation of group-wide framework agreements. 5. Bottleneck Items Procurement items in this segment have a low profit impact but high supply risk. Useful approaches here include over-ordering when the item is available (lack of reliable availability is one of the most common reasons that supply is unreliable), application of lean methods, having backup suppliers and carrying out upfront risk analysis. 6. Routine Items/Non-Critical Items These items (e.g., office stationery and supplies) are low risk and have a low impact upon organizational profitability.

P-cards Unplanned and urgent official expenditure for small items where it’s not convenient to follow the typical procurement modes. 10 Competitive Bidding This is the procedure for purchasing goods through a competitive process. The type of competitive bidding will be determined by value, nature, and complexity of supply. Types of competitive bids include: a. Open Competitive bidding (International and National): This entails sending out an invitation to tender with detailed asset specifications and requirements stating the deadline and mode of submission. To eliminate unwanted bids, NNPC would define criteria and requirements so that quality bids are attracted to the competition. b. Restricted Tendering: For restricted tendering, the supplier shall be invited to compete in the tender. The competition is limited to certain select suppliers instead of being open to all suppliers in the market. These suppliers are those who are known by their track record to be suitable for a contract of that size, nature and complexity required. The purpose of this process is to invite only high-quality bids from suppliers who have the capabilities to deliver a project. c. Selective Bidding
