Gas distribution and related services

Tender description

SGN is seeking an experienced supplier to provide gas shipping services for LNG. SGN would like to invite pre-qualification submissions from organisations interested in providing a gas shipper service for liquefied natural gas from May 2021. SGN own and operate four independent gas networks in Scotland located at Wick, Thurso, Campbeltown and Oban which are supplied with LNG by road tanker. SGN’s annual LNG requirement for these four networks is circa 10 000 tonnes. This service requirement does not include the sale of LNG to SGN. The gas shipper service would also include the commercial entry of LNG into the GB Total System via the National Grid Gemini system and therefore would require the supplier to hold a GB gas shipper licence. This framework does not include any requirement to transport LNG from an LNG terminal to the four network locations or the terminal costs associated with loading tankers. The Invitation to Tender will be conducted on the Emptoris e-sourcing platform. Candidates should consider registering for SGN supplier registration system via https://pages.achilles.com/sse-supplier-join which is free of charge ahead of the deadline to support on-boarding to Emptoris. Only candidates that pass the PQQ will be on-boarded onto Emptoris. Full details can be found within the procurement documents.
