Summary of the contracting process

Northern Gas Networks Limited, based in Leeds, has concluded a procurement process for the supply of bespoke In Line Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers for its sites at Burley Bank PRS and Harrogate AGI. The process, governed by a direct award method, was initiated due to the specific technical requirements that could only be met by Paul and Loughran Limited. The contract was awarded on 6th March 2026, with the contract period starting from 19th March 2026 through 18th March 2027. It includes the supply, documentation, testing, and delivery of various series of heat exchangers, falling under the goods category, and is related to the private utilities sector. The total contract value is set at £386,100, which exceeds the threshold level.

This procurement presents business growth opportunities primarily for suppliers specialising in heat-exchange units and machinery for liquefying air or other gases, as categorised under CPV code 42511000. Businesses with technical expertise in delivering bespoke solutions tailored to meet intricate specifications, especially those familiar with industry standards like NGN/SP and GIS/PA/10, would find this tender suitable. As Paul and Loughran Limited demonstrated their capability and compatibility with Northern Gas Networks' requirements, similar enterprises capable of innovative engineering and precise fabrication may position themselves for future opportunities in this sector. Additionally, businesses focusing on utility infrastructure in the United Kingdom, particularly those in regions like UKC, UKD, and UKE, could leverage their regional presence to enhance their competitive advantage.
