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. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **Delivery regions:** UKD, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI - **Description:** This contract award is for the provision of a Business Strategy Services Framework being conducted in accordance with the Open Procedure.
