Lot Information

Joinery Services

This is to support of our Emergency Service whereby NGN upon attendance at a gas emergency would require a "forced entry" to both domestic and non-domestic properties along with the repair and replacement following such activities. Repair and alterations to customer's property would also be a requirement within our planned works Replacement Programme where access to meter controls is difficult and hence alterations to kitchen cupboards etc. would be required along with replacement/repair/removal of wood, laminate flooring & replacement of doors and glazing.

Options: 3 year contract terms with the option to extend for 3 x 1 year terms thereafter

Electrical Services

Earth Bonding which could encompass multiple properties within the same street during our mains pipes replacement works. Northern Gas Networks operatives when carrying out work in customers properties are sometimes required to move the gas meter location which may impact on the earth bonding, this would require a qualified professional to alter and ensure safety within the customers property, there is also the possibility of damage to both internal and external domestic electrical supplies i.e. power to garage etc. that would require repair or replacement.

Options: 3 year contract term with the option to extend for 3 x 1 year terms thereafter

Drain Repair Services

A much-utilised service surrounding damaged drains and duct repairs. There is a business requirement for this mainly during daytime hours including weekends and bank holidays.

Options: 3 year contract term with the option to extend for 3 x 1 year terms thereafter

General Building Services

The main requirement is small works such as plastering, rendering, wall repair & tiling for domestic and commercial properties where our engineers have a need for any reinstatement. There are occasions where a full quotation following site visit will be needed for any jobs that would take longer than a day to complete

Options: 3 year contract terms with the option to extend for 3 x 1 terms thereafter

Scaffolding Services

The business requirement various for both domestic & commercial works & encompasses all types of scaffolding for both planned works and short notice emergency works.

Options: 3 year contract term with the option to extend for 3 x 1 year terms thereafter

Procurement Information

An above threshold tender event under UCR Reg 2016 for the provision of Labour Resources for the below lots was carried out in March 2021 - Lot 1 Joinery - Lot 2 Carpet Fitters / Cleaners - Lot 3 Drain Repair - Lot 4 Electrician - Lot 5 Scaffolding - Lot 6 Tree Surgeon - Lot 7 General Building Services Despite robust early supplier engagement and sourcing which included a meet the buyer event, there was insufficient response to the call for competition for 6 out of 7 lots (this award does not include Tree Surgery) The procurement strategy was to award a maximum of 3 suppliers per lot per area (nine areas) Following evaluation, it was identified that to deliver a framework fit for purpose and provide resource of three suppliers per lot per area, a single source event needed to be carried out to strengthen the framework. Regulation 50 of the 2016 UCR states the following: 'Utilities may use the negotiated procedure without prior call for competition in the following case: (a) Where no tenders, no suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable request to participate have been submitted in response to a procedure with a prior call for competition, provided that the initial conditions of the contract are not substantially altered. To this end, the following suppliers have been singled sourced to enhance the framework: - Cole Construction Services - PVF Scaffolding

Regulation 50 of the 2016 UCR states the following: 'Utilities may use the negotiated procedure without prior call for competition in the following case: (a) Where no tenders, no suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable request to participate have been submitted in response to a procedure with a prior call for competition, provided that the initial conditions of the contract are not substantially altered. To this end, the following suppliers have been singled sourced to enhance the framework: - Cole Construction Services - PVF Scaffolding",
