## Summary

Cadent Gas Limited has initiated an open procurement process under the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 for the Business Strategy Services Framework, focusing on business and management consultancy services (CPV code 79400000). The procurement aims to support Cadent's ambitious programme advocating for hydrogen and greener gases integration into their networks, contributing to the UK's net zero target by 2050. The project is based in Coventry, with services required across regions including UKD, UKF, UKG, UKH, and UKI. The tender was announced on 2nd September 2024, with the Request for Proposal (RFP) launching on 6th September 2024 and closing on 7th October 2024. The contract period is expected to last for 1800 days with potential renewal in 12-month increments.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in strategic consultancy, regulatory policy design, and energy transition solutions. The procurement is well-suited for large consultancies with expertise in decarbonisation strategies, organisational design, and new market developments. Companies can leverage the opportunity to engage with Cadent in shaping energy policy and strategy, potentially influencing their leadership position in the energy sector. Participation in this framework aligns with business growth priorities for firms seeking to expand their services in utilities and sustainable energy solutions. As the procurement follows an open procedure, it encourages wide participation, fostering competitive and innovative strategy solutions.

## Notice

Cadent have an ambitious programme of activities underway, aimed at building the case for hydrogen to be used in our networks and more recently in making the case for the continued use of the gas network supporting, inter alia the adoption of hybrid heating systems, growth in biomethane and a significant reduction in leakage levels to the lowest levels in the sector. While we believe hydrogen will have a key role to play in the future, for use in industry, transport and possibly in the heating of homes and businesses, the exact pathway to decarbonisation remains very uncertain. Cadent seeks to maintain a leadership position externally on the transition to net zero and have a robust position internally on the implications of different pathways on the business. The awarded suppliers will support our programme of activities with research and consultancy services.
