TRANSNET National Ports Authority (TNPA) is calling 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 liquified petroleum gas (LPG) for a 25-year concession at the Port of Durban.
Issuing the RFP will assist TNPA to respond to potential investors in the LPG industry, Transnet said. 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,” said port manager at the Port of Durban, Mpumi Dweba-Kwetana.
A briefing is scheduled for January 19, 2023, and the deadline is April 28, 2023. RFP documents can be accessed from the National Treasury’s e-tender portal and the Transnet website.
