The Mozambique LNG gas project, operated by TotalEnergies, held a speed meeting in Pemba with more than 100 Mozambican companies. Suppliers were able to speak with the procurement teams about contract procedures and upcoming opportunities, as part of the promotion of local content, according to the project.

The Mozambique LNG project, operated by TotalEnergies, held a speed meeting in Pemba bringing together more than 100 Mozambican companies. These exchanges allowed them to meet directly with the project’s procurement teams, clarify contracting procedures and find out about current and future supply opportunities.

Edna Simbine, head of local content at TEPMA1, the project’s operating company, said that companies need to understand the project’s requirements in order to compete effectively. The meeting follows a similar meeting held last week in Maputo, which brought together more than 200 companies. It adds to business seminars organised earlier this year in Palma, Pemba and Maputo, which drew around 500 professionals.

Mozambique LNG plans to invest around $4.5 billion in contracts with Mozambican companies during the construction phase.
