Cameroon's ARMP awards CFA2.36 billion contract to Ngaoundéré fuel storage

• SCDP has awarded a CFA2.359 billion contract to expand Ngaoundéré fuel storage by 54.5%.
• The project aims to increase the site's white petroleum product storage capacity from 5,500 to 8,500 cubic meters.
• The contractor has been given 16 months to complete the work, with a separate owner's engineering contract awarded for a period of 14 months.

The project aims to increase the site's white petroleum product storage capacity by 54.5%, from 5,500 to 8,500 cubic meters.

The award of the CFA2.359 billion contract to expand Ngaoundéré fuel storage is a significant development for Cameroon's petroleum industry, with potential implications for supply chain disruptions and compliance with regulations related to petroleum storage capacity. The project aims to increase the site's white petroleum product storage capacity by 54.5%, from 5,500 to 8,500 cubic meters, which could strengthen fuel logistics in northern Cameroon. This expansion is part of a broader effort to enhance the country's energy infrastructure and meet growing demand for petroleum products. As the project progresses, lawyers advising clients on fuel logistics in northern Cameroon should closely monitor its impact on supply chain disruptions and compliance with regulations related to petroleum storage capacity.

On June 9, 2026, SCDP awarded a contract to the consortium RG & Co./Bajaj Steel Industries Limited to build a 3,000-cubic-meter diesel tank at its Ngaoundéré depot. The contractor has been given 16 months to complete the work, with the project expected to increase the site's storage capacity by 54.5%. The contract value is CFA2.359 billion, which is CFA25.64 million below the estimated budget of CFA2.385 billion included in the tender documents. Additionally, a separate owner's engineering contract was awarded to Parlym Cameroun on May 6, 2026, for a period of 14 months and valued at CFA113.96 million.

The award decision was published by the Public Procurement Regulatory Agency (ARMP) on June 17, 2026, as part of its oversight role in ensuring compliance with procurement regulations. The contract is subject to a range of regulatory requirements, including those related to petroleum storage capacity and fuel logistics. The project's total cost, including both contracts, amounts to CFA2.473 billion, although this figure may not reflect the final cost of all planned upgrades at the depot. As the project progresses, it will be essential for stakeholders to ensure compliance with relevant regulations and standards.

Lawyers advising clients on fuel logistics in northern Cameroon should watch for the potential impact of this project on supply chain disruptions and compliance with regulations related to petroleum storage capacity.
