These requirements are solely for the purpose of supporting NGNs bid for the Hydrogen Village Trials which is the UK's foremost research project into the use of Hydrogen as a substitute for natural gas and therefore directly linked to the UK's climate change aims. This work is a continuation of work already undertaken which was originally below threshold and commenced in 2022. This is supported by Reg 50 of the UCR (f) for new works or services consisting in the repetition of similar works or services assigned to the contractor to which the same utility awarded an earlier contract, provided that such works or services conform to a basic project for which a first contract was awarded following a procedure in accordance with regulation 44(1) and (2);" and (b) where a contract is purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development and not for the purpose of securing a profit or of recovering research and development costs, and insofar as the award of such contract does not prejudice the competitive award of subsequent contracts which do seek, in particular, those ends;"
