Petrosa is seeking suppliers for the supply and delivery of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to its Mosselbay Terminal using isotainer-based logistics. This initiative aims to re-establish LPG supply into Mosselbay due to declining domestic refining capacity. The scope includes sourcing LPG (local and/or international), providing and managing ISO-certified isotainers, executing all logistics (filling, transportation via road, rail, and/or marine, importation if applicable), and ensuring compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements. Bidders must demonstrate technical capability, operational experience, and commercial competitiveness, providing detailed and transparent pricing structures for the total landed cost of LPG into Mosselbay. Key requirements include compliance with South African standards, isotainer specifications, logistics execution plans, HSE compliance, and regulatory adherence. Pricing must be disaggregated and transparent, presented in both USD/MT and ZAR/MT, with clear exchange rate assumptions. Submissions must be made online via the Petrosa eProcurement system by the specified closing date and time.
The bid notice does not explicitly state a specific delivery deadline for the LPG supply. However, it mentions an initial ramp-up phase and the potential to increase volumes in line with market demand and infrastructure readiness.
The bid notice requires bidders to clearly specify their payment terms and credit terms as part of their commercial proposal.
Pricing will be evaluated primarily on total landed cost (ZAR/MT), transparency and completeness of cost breakdown, commercial competitiveness across scenarios, and stability and predictability of the pricing structure.
Bidders must demonstrate proven capability in isotainer-based LPG logistics, including filling operations, multimodal transport, experience with LPG imports, and a minimum of 3-5 years of experience in LPG supply and logistics. They must also provide audited financial statements for a minimum of 2-3 years and evidence of financial capacity.
