Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
Scotland Gas Networks (SGN) would like to invite expressions of interest from parties interested in providing a gas shipper service for liquefied natural gas from April 2016 for a contractual period of 3 -5 years.
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 centre on the provision of LNG at a European LNG truck loading terminal located at either Fluxy's Zeebrugge terminal, Gate terminal Rotterdam or the planned truck loading facility at the National Grid LNG terminal located at the Isle of Grain. 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 party to hold a GB gas shipper licence. This service does not include any requirement to transport LNG from a LNG terminal to the four network locations.
Please send your expression of interest clearly stating your position to es.procurement@sse.com, for the attention of Helen Gerrard by 12PM, friday 31.7.2015.
