Petrosa requires a service provider to deliver ifrs technical accounting advisory services on an ad hoc or recurring basis for an initial 36-month period, with two optional 12-month renewals. The scope covers a wide range of ifrs topics, including oil and gas industry-specific accounting, impairment, decommissioning, leases, joint arrangements, financial instruments, business combinations, foreign currency, and financial statement review. Bidders must demonstrate extensive ifrs experience, specialist upstream oil and gas expertise, and the ability to provide independent technical opinions accepted by external auditors. The most consequential consideration is the requirement for deep oil and gas accounting expertise, as the services are highly specialised and must support a major state-owned energy company.
Closing date and time: 24 November 2026 at 09:00; late bids are disqualified.
Submission method: follow the standard PetroSA tender process; the annexure does not specify a physical address or electronic portal.
Mandatory returnable documents: the annexure does not list them; refer to the main tender document for the full list of forms (e.g., SBD/MBD forms) that must be completed and submitted.
Required expertise: bidders must demonstrate extensive IFRS experience, specialist upstream oil and gas accounting knowledge, experience advising international E&P companies, and experience with listed entities, international oil companies, and large state-owned enterprises.
Service levels: routine queries must be answered within two business days; urgent or transaction-critical matters must be handled within agreed timelines; bidders must provide access to suitably qualified specialists and ensure continuity of resources.
Engagement period: initial 36 months, with two further 12-month renewal options subject to satisfactory performance.
Exclusions: the scope excludes statutory external audit, internal audit (unless separately commissioned), tax compliance, independent valuation services, and legal opinions; bidders must not include these in their offering.
