II.2.4) Description of the procurement
This agreement relates to the provision of a gas shipper service for liquefied natural gas from May 2021. The period of this agreement will be three (3) years from 1 May 2021 with the option to extend for a further period of up to two (2) 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 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.
