Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has called on interested parties to respond to a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a suitable terminal operator to finance, refurbish, operate, maintain and transfer a liquid bulk terminal specialising in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) at the Port of Durban.
The RFP, for a 25-year concession to operate the terminal, aims to assist TNPA to respond to potential investors in the LPG industry. Bidders are required to submit bid responses for the exclusive right to complete the financing, refurbishment, procurement of terminal equipment, operation, maintenance and transfer of the facility to TNPA after the concession period.
“The process demonstrates our commitment to the push towards the reduction of emissions and decarbonisation that has triggered the move towards environmentally friendly and sustainable sources of energy,” Durban port manager, Mpumi Dweba-Kwetana, said.
RFP documents can be accessed from the National Treasury’s e-tender portal www.etender.gov.za and/or the Transnet website: www.transnet.net.
A briefing session has been scheduled for January 19, 2023.
RSVPs for the briefing session and queries for clarification in respect of the RFP must be directed to PORTOFDURBANLPGRFP@TRANSNET.NET
Responses to the RFP must be submitted by no later than April 28, 2023 at 10:00 as per the submission requirements of the RFP.
