## Summary

The Northern Gas Networks Limited has completed a tender process for the purchase of self-charging hybrid AWD vehicles to support operational activities in the gas network. The contract involves the provision of approximately 17 vehicles meeting specific criteria such as 4x4 capabilities, fuel efficiency, and low emissions. The procurement method was selective, using a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition. The contract has been awarded to Kia UK Limited, with a contract value of £35,217.94 signed on 6th September 2023.

This tender opportunity provides a chance for automotive companies specialising in hybrid vehicles, particularly self-charging petrol hybrids with AWD capabilities, to expand their business. Businesses offering vehicles meeting the specified criteria, including high fuel efficiency, low emissions, and specific additional features like fixed tow bars and rear-view cameras, are well-suited to compete.
