Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Gas Networks Limited (NGN) is currently engaged in a public procurement process for the Synergi Pipeline Application, which is classified under IT services: consulting, software development, and support. The procurement method employed is selective, specifically a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition. The procurement is located in Leeds (UKE42) and is in the award stage, with current contracts valued at £151,044. Notably, the existing applications that NGN uses are due for replacement, and this modification is in response to the upcoming expiry of the current agreement in July 2022. Key contacts for this process include Maija Narimanidze, who can be reached at MNarimanidze@northerngas.co.uk or +44 7814042782.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in IT services and software development, particularly those focused on application support and data migration. As DNV Services UK Limited is the only supplier currently involved, there may be potential for partnerships or subcontracting opportunities for smaller firms looking to provide complementary services. Businesses that have expertise in system migrations, security upgrades, and application development are particularly well-suited to respond to this tender and may benefit from expanding their portfolio through working with established clients like NGN.

Notice Title

Synergi Pipeline Application

Notice Description

NGN currently uses DNV applications CP Logger & CP Uptime to enable field users to record Cathodic Protection readings on mobile handheld field devices against our assets and provide an inspection management tool. These applications are part of the Agreement for the Provision of Gas Operational Support Decision Making Apps, which is due to expire in July 2022.These applications are end of life and are unsupported due to old technology, which creates a number of security risks. DNV have developed a new application called Synergi Pipeline which provides the same functionality but resides on a new technology platform. A project proposal has been received by NGN for DNV to support testing and data migration activities before the system goes live. Justification for single source is based on absence of competition due to technical reasons as our current applications were developed by DNV and they are the only supplier who can replace them. NGN carried out workshops with an alternative supplier but they could not meet our requirements.
