If we talk in general about the results of the analysis of purchases in Kazakhstan on the website reestr.nadloc.kz , then in the period from July to December 2017, the organizers – customers of drilling services submitted applications for 5.4 billion tenge (hereinafter excluding VAT – ed.). The guidelines for our research were three main types of drilling – RC, core drilling, as well as drilling and blasting.
In the total volume of requested labor (goods, works and services), the largest amount of funds was allocated for core drilling – 2,076 billion tenge, RC drilling accounted for 2,026 billion tenge.
The tenderers were particularly interested in core drilling technology. Recall that the cost of services here varies depending on the use of drilling diameter (BQ,HQ,NQ,PQ).
Drilling services with a gradually decreasing diameter of HQ–NQ in the second half of 2017 were less in demand compared to the first half of the same year. The only bidder interested in them was Korund LLP (2017.OI-169237). The winning price for this tender was 17,410 tenge excluding VAT.
The analysis of the results of tenders makes it possible to identify companies that set the direction for the market. In the second half of the year, the five largest bidders included: Komarovsky Mining Enterprise, Altyntau Kokshetau JSC, KAZ Minerals Bozshakol, KAZAKHALTYN Mining and Metallurgical Concern (table "Top 5 winners of tenders for drilling operations by the cost of purchased TRUS").
We remind you that the price parameters presented by us should be considered relative, taking into account the technical specifications of drilling services (drilling depths and subspecies of work).
