• The agreement is aimed at giving these installers access to the company's public tender processes which will involve over 1,000 companies in Barcelona.

President of the Barcelona Installers Guild Francesc Balagué and Gas Natural Catalunya Delegate for Southern Barcelona Griselda Ral signed a partnership agreement aimed at giving small- and medium-sized installation companies access to the distribution company's public tenders, promoting the addition of natural gas supply points and establishing closer ties with the guild's members.

Each year, through its distributors, GAS NATURAL FENOSA launches a public tender process aimed at professionals and installation companies in the regions of Spain where it operates. The tender, which is open to all sorts of companies, is aimed at reaching the largest possible number of local gas installation company guild and association members. The company's public tender will benefit over 1,000 installation companies in Barcelona.

Under this agreement. the distribution company is committed to training the members of the Guild in the use of natural gas, its expansion and distribution, and contracting procedures. In turn, the Guild will publicise the uses of natural gas within its areas of activity.

In order to achieve their targets, Gas Natural Catalunya and the Barcelona Installers Guild will organise training days to share the main sector innovations with installation companies. The first of these events will take place on 2 February to explain the company's 2017 public tender process to members of the guild and establish action criteria, so that the members better understand the advantages, characteristics and technical features of this energy and natural gas installations.

With this initiative Gas Natural Catalunya hopes to increase the number of supply points connected to the home distribution network, foster the use of natural gas, and promote the business of installation companies.
