Tender description

Provision of expert advice and analysis to the GB gas industry on unidentified gas. We are the central provider of critical services to gas shippers, transporters and suppliers to support the reliable and efficient operation of Britain’s gas market. The procurement is for a GB gas industry role of ‘Allocation of Unidentified Gas Expert’. The objective of the role is to provide an annual service to the GB gas industry which determines a fair and equitable apportionment of unidentified gas across the different classes and categories of gas consumption points, in a cost effective manner. Unidentified gas is gas which has been delivered to the gas distribution networks but which cannot be directly attributed to a particular gas consumption point. An initial quantity of unidentified gas is calculated each day for each of 18 Local Distribution Zones (sub-divisions of the GB gas system) and will be subject to revision over the following months and years, as more information becomes available about gas consumption at individual sites.
