OMJ have been awarded a 5 year framework contract with the largest gas network operator in the UK, Cadent Gas.
Cadent Gas owns, operates and maintains the largest natural gas distribution network in the United Kingdom, transporting gas to 11 million homes and businesses across West Midlands, North West England, East of England and North London.
The contract award is part of a larger national roll out programme to replace ageing metallic gas pipes within the regulator OFGEM’s RIIO 2 price control period. The award will position OMJ as a key strategic partner within the North London Region where the company has already successfully established themselves in recent years, having built up strong collaborative working relationships with highway authorities and local communities along the M3 and M4 corridors.
Speaking following the recent success, OMJ Managing Partner, Mark Jordan cited the company’s existing and future commitments to collaborative partnering, customer experience, corporate sustainability and also to a green circular economy as being instrumental in achieving tender success. Mark acknowledged that the investment in providing these improved and more sustainable business operating models is best facilitated by longer term framework contracts of this nature.
OMJ commence the new framework contract in April 2021 and invite expressions of interest from supply chain partners over the coming months. Tailored commercial packages are available for suitable individuals and sub-contractors who demonstrate a passion and commitment for customer experience and who are appropriately skilled and competent in gas mains replacement engineering work. Immediate starts are now available while further engineering and management positions will be advertised over the coming months.
