Notice Description
NGN have a Evergreen Contract in place with Acumen who have developed bespoke systems and support the Site Safety Hub and NRSWA mobile applications for NGN. Acumen have further developed the Apps and Services tailored to NGN requirements to include NGN 'NRSWA' Smart Phone Application for Android & NGN 'Safety Hub' Smart Phone Application for Android.

Procurement Information
NGN have heavily invested in these bespoke systems since 2016. There are no off the shelf products that would fulfill NGN legal requirements and reporting obligations. Should NGN look to other suppliers to procure similar software then we would need to invest significantly to replicate the infrastructure already built.
