Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGC) invites sealed quotations for gas meter components, air-conditioning work, civil and electrical works, pipeline-related construction and network connectivity. Local manufacturers may apply for applicable procurement opportunities.

Procurement Opportunities

Extensions and Cancellations

SSGC has extended submission dates for previously issued tenders. Tender cancellations also cover a procurement of 500,000 G-1.6 diaphragm gas meter components and a refrigerant-gas procurement.

The cancelled refrigerant procurement required an authorized dealership, sole-importer or agency certificate and used the single-stage, one-envelope bidding procedure.
