GL Noble Denton has signed a new agreement with BP in a move that will see the independent technical advisor become a preferred supplier of vendor inspection services across BP’s global portfolio of upstream assets.
The three-year deal will allow GL Noble Denton to become one of a small number of inspection specialists to assess the safety, quality and performance of equipment acquired for BP’s high-profile capital and operating expenditure projects.
Under the agreement, GL Noble Denton will offer bespoke inspection expertise to BP projects across the world through a network of highly-qualified engineers in more than 80 countries. They will play a central role in BP’s procurement process, ensuring that goods supplied to the oil company are compliant with industry best practice.
Pekka Paasivaara, Member of the GL Group Executive Board , said: “ BP has taken a major step in refining its selection of inspection partners to ensure it consistently receives a world-class service in vendor assessment. We are delighted that GL Noble Denton has been selected to play a central role in this, and we look forward to aiding BP’s continued drive to operate safe and sustainable assets .”
