What the buyer is requesting

Details

The Bloomfield Group (TBG) invites Expressions of Interest (EOI) from suitably qualified suppliers for the supply of process chemicals to its Hunter Valley coal mining operations and biodiesel production facility.

This EOI seeks to identify suppliers with the relevant products, technical expertise and supply capability to meet TBG’s requirements. Respondents may nominate one or more chemical categories and are not required to supply all chemicals listed.

This EOI forms the first stage of a two-stage procurement process to identify prospective tenderers for potential invitation to a subsequent private Request for Tender (RFT). Invitations to participate in the RFT may be restricted to respondents who submit a response to this EOI.

Pricing is not required at this stage. Detailed technical specifications, commercial conditions, volume requirements, delivery arrangements and pricing schedules, as applicable, will be provided during the RFT stage.

The issue of this EOI does not commit or otherwise oblige TBG to proceed with an RFT, invite any respondent to participate in an RFT, enter into an agreement, or acquire any goods or services.
