TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
• ProCon is a web base application and supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 & 9 only. Please do not use Firefox, Chrome or
Opera as your browsers when accessing the ProCon site
• Preparation of soft copies of documents for online submission
For tenders dispatched via ProCon – Online Tender Management system, ADNOC Onshore requires bidders to prepare all formal
submission documents to be in soft copies which are of Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). It should be noted that all
requirements as specified within the Tender Invitation Package (TIP) documents should be followed to prepare the submission
documents. These documents should be scanned to soft copies which should include all relevant signatures and stamps as
required by standard tendering guidelines in TIP documentation.
• Format and size of documents
Please note that all your documents should be submitted in PDF format. For better handling of these documents, they can also
be delivered in batches by using standard Windows compression methods. If submissions are made in this manner, the preferred
format for compressed files is ZIP format. Other formats such as RAR, 7z, ISO, NRG etc. will not be accepted. Please also
make sure that the size of a single compressed file does not exceed 50 Megabytes. Multiple files which are less than this limit
can be uploaded successively but the files should be given proper names as specified in the following naming conventions
section in this document.
• Naming Conventions
Please ensure that you name all tender submission documents appropriately with the correct names of what the document
consist of and with clear serial numbers as suffix. As a prefix, we recommend putting a short company abbreviation to all the file
names of the documents. This will ensure that your documents can be easily identified and organised by those involved in the
evaluation of submission. We have included some examples below.
Sample submission files for a company known as ABC company: ABC-Form of tender.pdf, ABC-HSE Policy.pdf
