Summary of the contracting process

Northern Gas Networks Limited is procuring labour resource services and associated operational support for planned, reactive and emergency works across its gas distribution network. The requirement covers eight service areas: joinery, drainage repairs, electrical services, arboriculture and grounds maintenance, scaffolding, carpets and flooring, driveways and surface reinstatement, and property maintenance. Work includes securing and repairing properties, maintaining infrastructure, clearing vegetation, providing qualified operatives, reinstating surfaces and carrying out minor or larger building repairs. Activities may take place in domestic and commercial settings and across multiple operational locations within the network area. This is a services procurement, classified under repair and maintenance services, with the opportunity divided into separate service lots and geographic areas.

The procurement has reached tender: Northern Gas Networks invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. It is establishing a closed, multi-supplier framework with reopening of competition; up to three suppliers may be appointed for each lot and area, with separate evaluation and award for each combination. Expressions of interest were due by 11 August 2026 at 17:00. The PQQ deadline was 21 August 2026, with a 60% pass threshold for progression to the relevant RFP. The estimated value is £12,000,000 gross, with indicative annual expenditure of approximately £1,500,000. The initial contract period is 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2031, with extensions available to 28 February 2035. Evaluation weights price at 60%, quality at 30% and contract challenges at 10%.

This opportunity suits SMEs and specialist contractors able to provide reliable labour and operational services for gas-network works across multiple areas. Relevant capability includes joinery and property repairs, drainage and duct reinstatement, electrical works affected by gas activity, tree and vegetation management, scaffolding, flooring, surfacing and general building maintenance. Suppliers should be able to support planned, reactive and emergency requirements, including daytime, weekend and bank-holiday work for drainage services and emergency support for scaffolding. The driveways and surface reinstatement lot requires site assessment, design, groundworks, drainage and SuDS compliance, varied surfacing, quality assurance and handover documentation, with compliance with NRSWA, SROH and relevant standards. The framework permits awards across multiple lots and areas.
