two.1.4) Short description

Northern Gas Networks are seeking to establish a contract with a single supplier to provide circa 45-50 compressed natural gas (CNG) cylinders weighing less than 25kgs (Single man lift) to its operational depots.

The CNG cylinders must meet the following mandatory criteria:-

• Must be able to pick up and either refill or provide replacement cylinders as and when NGN consume the gas inside them

• Must be able to provide regulators to enable NGN to monitor both gas flow (pressure being delivered from cylinders) and to show how much gas is remining in the cylinder

• Must be able to service all NGN operational depots as an ongoing requirement

• It would also be preferable, if the supplier had the facility to provide larger quantities of cylinders should NGN have a gas incident and want to use the technique in place of fan heaters and hot plates, but this is not essential.
