This guide walks project teams through a complete borehole drilling procurement process, from initial planning through contract award and beyond. It lays out a full 24-week timeline (about 5 months) spanning pre-bid preparation, contractor prequalification, competitive bidding, bid evaluation, and contract award, followed by post-award steps like hiring a drilling supervisor and holding a pre-mobilization meeting.

It includes ready-to-use tools: a detailed prequalification checklist for vetting contractors (licensing, equipment, financial capacity, references, site visits), a weighted 100-point bid evaluation scorecard (70 technical points / 30 financial points), a sample milestone-based payment schedule, and a full drilling contract review checklist covering scope, payment terms, obligations, and anti-corruption clauses.
