Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Gas Networks Limited (NGN) is currently engaged in public procurement for a contract titled "WAN, LAN and Unified Communications," categorised under IT services and telecommunications. This procurement process, which is at the Award stage, follows an extension of an existing contract with Vodafone due to the complex migration needs away from their circuits. The contract was signed on 29 March 2022, with a value of £650,000, and pertains to services supplied across NGN's various offices and depots in the region of Leeds, UK. This limited procurement method was adopted as it did not require prior publication of a call for competition, compliant with regulatory criteria.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications, IT services, and network infrastructure as NGN transitions its services. Companies with experience in providing unified communications and those that can demonstrate capability in executing complex migrations of telecommunications systems would be particularly well-suited to compete. The extension of the contract signifies ongoing needs, indicating a stable market for suppliers looking to engage with NGN in delivering critical communications infrastructure.
