Supply of LNG Spot Cargoes on Delivered Ex Ship Basis at Port Qasim Karachi

Pakistan LNG Limited (PLL) is procuring LNG spot cargoes on a Delivered Ex Ship (DES) basis at the Pakistan Gas Port Consortium Limited (PGPCL) Terminal located at Port Qasim, Karachi. This tender invites bids for two LNG cargo deliveries scheduled for 13-14 June 2026 and 20-21 June 2026. The scope includes supply of liquefied natural gas meeting specified quality standards, delivered via LNG carriers compliant with Port Qasim Authority regulations. Bidders must submit technical and commercial bids separately under a single stage two envelope process. Eligibility requires evidence of at least eight LNG cargo deliveries in the last 24 months, executed Master Sale and Purchase Agreement (MSPA) with PLL, and submission of a bid bond of USD 300,000. The tender is managed by Pakistan LNG Limited headquartered in Islamabad, with deliveries at Karachi. The deadline for bid submission is 11 June 2026 at 1400 hours PST, with technical bids opened at 1430 hours the same day. Bids must be submitted physically to the Head of LNG Procurement at Petroleum House, Islamabad; email submissions are not accepted. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure strict compliance with the MSPA and Confirmation Notice requirements, as conditional or incomplete bids will be rejected. Also, bidders should verify LNG carrier compliance with Port Qasim parameters and terminal regulations to avoid disqualification. The earnest money in the form of a bid bond or swift message is critical for bid acceptance. This tender offers a significant opportunity for LNG suppliers with proven track records to engage with a key public sector entity in Pakistan's energy sector. The contract price will be evaluated on the lowest US$/MMBtu offered. Bidders should prepare for timely submission of performance guarantees upon award. The tender process is governed by Pakistani law with jurisdiction in Karachi courts. For further details, bidders can contact PLL at procurement@paklng.com or call +92 51 8744183-84.
