PT Vale Indonesia Tbk is continuing to strengthen the involvement of local businesses in the development of its Indonesia Growth Project (IGP) Morowali by implementing a priority system for contractors originating from the company’s empowerment regions.
Head of the Bahodopi Project IGP Morowali, Wafir, said the policy is part of the company’s commitment to supporting regional economic growth while ensuring that local communities benefit from the presence of the strategic project.
According to Wafir, PT Vale implements its local contractor empowerment mechanism in collaboration with the Local Contractors Association, while remaining aligned with applicable regulations and corporate policies.
“Consistent with prevailing regulations and policies, PT Vale will seek to apply a priority system in terms of the involvement of local contractors in the IGP Morowali empowerment area,” Wafir said.
He explained that the company actively opens opportunities for local contractors to participate in various works supporting project operations. The selection process is conducted through a prequalification mechanism designed to ensure the readiness and competence of local service providers.
Over the past two years, a total of 40 verified local contractors have participated in the prequalification process using the P2M method. Of these, 27 local contractors have been directly involved in project execution.
In addition, the participation of local businesses is also reflected in the involvement of 34 local subcontractors working under PT Vale’s main contractor partners.
“PT Vale carries out a local contractor empowerment mechanism through collaboration with the Local Contractors Association. Over the past two years, out of 40 verified local contractors who participated in the P2M prequalification process, 27 contractors and 34 local subcontractors under main partners have been involved in supporting the continuity of the IGP Morowali project,” Wafir said.
The involvement of local contractors and subcontractors is expected not only to support the smooth development of the IGP Morowali project, but also to enhance local business capacity, expand employment opportunities, and generate broader economic spillover effects for communities surrounding the company’s operational areas.
