Notice Title

Wetheral, Melkinthorpe, Keld and long lead items for Saltend and Wawne

Notice Description

NGN has engaged with a specialist parts identification supplier to determine requirements for, availability of and in some cases the suitability of current items to replace those that are now obsolete for the servicing and refurbishment of some of its existing electrical instrumentation and control equipment. That assessment which has been carried out in conjunction with the NGN team is now complete and as such NGN intends to pace a contract for their provision. At the start of this exercise it was not envisaged that the contract value would be above the procurement threshold for goods and services however as that is the case NGN are issuing this notice to confirm its intentions to the market. NGN is also in the process of conducting an above threshold procurement process which is due to conclude this year that will provide a compliant and competitive supply base for such activities going forwards. Pre-qualification questionnaires have been issued for this requirement on Achilles UVDB, the event is closed, and submissions are being assessed to enable the resultant tender process to be undertaken.

As a business NGN does not have its own specification for control cabinets that we could go to market with, only a design provided by our design contractor and Part Hunter Ltd. If NGN used this design to procure from elsewhere all the liability for that design would then reside with NGN as opposed the the supplying organisation thereby increasing risk as well as the timescales for supply and installation. Time is critical in this instance."
