KARACHI: Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has not issued any tenders for procurement of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), the company said on Friday.
“Some misconceptions need to be corrected,” SSGC said in a statement with reference to a news item.
SSGC-LPG (Pvt) Ltd. (SLL), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of SSGC, is an independent LPG marketing company with a marketing network all over Pakistan for supplying LPG to its domestic and industrial customers either in cylinders or in bulk through bowsers.
“To meet its demand, SLL regularly procures LPG from indigenous producers, importers as well as direct imports,” said the SSGC. “All procurement is carried out under PPRA [Public Procurement Regulatory Authority] rules through an open and transparent tendering process.”

KARACHI: Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has jacked up procurement of imported liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and issued 15 tenders for supply of locally available imported LPG with delivery windows ranging January to June 2021.
The southern gas utility supplies synthetic natural gas during high demand as an alternate to piped gas. SSGC would procure at least 37,500 metric tons LPG with the option to double or triple the procurement.
“Sealed quotations are invited for supply of imported LPG locally available in parcel size up to 2,500 tons. The company has the right to procure one or more parcels against each tender enquiry,” a tender document said.
