Summary of the contracting process

Northern Gas Networks Limited has initiated a tender process to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for labour resource services to support activities across its gas distribution network. The estimated annual expenditure is approximately £1.5 million, and the tender is categorized under repair and maintenance services. This multi-region opportunity covers several geographic areas within the UK, including regions like North East, South East, and London, among others. The procurement process, currently in the tender stage, follows a competitive flexible procedure where interested suppliers must engage through Market Dojo, with the completion of a PQQ by 21st August 2026. The framework, with call-off contracts, aims to appoint up to three suppliers per Lot and Area, with a contract period beginning 1st March 2027, potentially extending until 2035.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs with expertise in utilities and repair services, such as joinery, electrical, scaffolding, and drainage repair. Suppliers capable of delivering both planned and reactive services across multiple disciplines are well-suited to compete. The framework structure allows for the potential awarding of multiple Lots and Areas, encouraging competition and offering a chance for suppliers to secure substantial engagements over an extended period. The opportunity to be involved in long-term, high-value projects with a reputable buyer like Northern Gas Networks provides a pathway for businesses to expand their service portfolio and footprint within the industry.

Each Lot/Area combination will be assessed independently and will produce a separate commercial score for that Lot/Area. The commercial evaluation will be based on the scoreable rates submitted within the relevant Pricing Schedule for the applicable Lot and Area. Unless expressly identified as scoreable within the Pricing Schedule or relevant RFP documentation, quotation-based items, non-standard works, pre-approved works, cost-plus percentage items, and items requested for information only will not contribute to the commercial score. Each scoreable commercial line item will be evaluated independently using a proportional rate comparison methodology. No individual commercial line item will carry a separate weighting. Each scoreable line item will be scored out of a maximum of 10 points. For each scoreable line item, the lowest compliant rate submitted by any supplier for that Lot/Area will receive the maximum score of 10. All other compliant rates for that line item will be scored proportionately against the lowest compliant rate. The individual line scores achieved by each supplier will be aggregated to produce a raw commercial score for the relevant Lot/Area. The raw commercial score will then be converted into a commercial percentage score by comparing the supplier's total score against the maximum available score for that Lot/Area. The commercial percentage score will then be weighted to contribute 60% of the supplier's overall RFP score for the relevant Lot/Area. Each Lot and Area will be evaluated, ranked and awarded separately. A supplier's commercial score for one Lot or Area will not be carried across to any other Lot or Area.",
