Zululand Energy Terminal (ZET) has officially opened its bidding process for EPC contractors to deliver the ZET Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal at South Dunes, Port of Richards Bay.

The announcement marks a significant milestone in the project’s development, signalling that ZET is ready to move from planning into active construction procurement. The terminal, once complete, is set to become a key component of South Africa’s energy infrastructure, providing the country with access to cleaner, more reliable energy supply.

Contractor selection will proceed through a structured three-phase process, Expression of Interest, Request for Information, and Request for Proposal designed to identify the most capable and experienced EPC partners for a project of this scale and complexity.

EPC contractors wishing to participate are required to take immediate action. As a first step, interested parties must submit a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to tenders@zlet.co.za using the prescribed NDA Template. Upon receipt, ZET will furnish submitting parties with the official EOI documentation ahead of the formal EOI launch, which is imminent. All correspondence must be directed exclusively to this address, communications received through any other channel will not be considered.

ZET has confirmed that the EOI launch is scheduled to occur shortly, and contractors are strongly encouraged to submit their NDAs without delay to ensure they receive documentation at the earliest opportunity.
