two.1.4) Short description
Cadent Gas owns 4 of the 8 eight regional gas distribution networks. We look after the gas pipes in your area. We're committed to keeping you safe and warm. We bring gas to 11 million homes and businesses throughout the North West, West Midlands, East of England, East Midlands and North London, in an efficient, reliable, and safe manner.
Cadent exists to keep the energy flowing. We're proud to be at the heart of heat and we work closely with our communities to keep them safe, warm and connected, providing extra care for those who might need it in a gas emergency. We maintain, repair and replace gas pipes to ensure the safe and reliable flow of gas now and long into the future. We manage the national gas emergency number on behalf of the gas industry, responding to gas escapes and repairing leaks.
This means that we must maintain our infrastructure network to a high standard and ensure the network is capable of meeting Great Britain's energy demands, such as accommodating the growing use of gas by our customers. To support this, Cadent's back-office support teams must be able to engage with its networks and depots throughout the country.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Cadent is looking to the market for Fuel Card and Charge Card Solutions. Particular interest would be shown in identifying suppliers who are able to offer a unified approach to the two card types either through partnerships or ownership.
FUEL CARDS
Cadent wishes to partner with single or multiple providers of fuel card solutions offering nationwide access to forecourts. The ideal suppliers should have partnerships with supermajor fuel providers (e.g. Shell and BP) and supermarket chains (e.g. Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons) across the UK. This will give our drivers greater geographical coverage for refuelling of HGV and commercial vehicles whilst on the road. Access to a wide variety of products and fuel types for use in our commercial vehicles, including engine oils, AdBlue and lubricants is also a requirement of the fuel cards.
CHARGE CARDS
In addition, we would require prospective suppliers to offer charge card solutions for the growing networks of electric vehicle charging, biofuels and hydrogen systems - National coverage would be required for these networks. This will support Cadent's RIIO-2 commitments of zero emission vehicles by 2026. In addition to the above, robust management information will be required in a timely and accurate manner, both on card allocation and usage, to help inform business decisions and effective business management, as well as effective and proactive ongoing account management.
Given the fast-moving changes in the market we reserve the right in the contract period to be able to work with winning supplier(s) to leverage new innovations in the marketplace where there is benefit in doing so.
