The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with the contract having been signed on 16th February 2021, and the current contract expiring on 30th June 2021, with no options for extension. The method of procurement used was a limited procedure, allowing for an award without prior publication of a call for competition, primarily due to the urgency created by existing stock management challenges linked to Brexit.

Companies capable of providing comprehensive warehouse management, distribution services, and inventory optimisation will find themselves well-positioned to compete in this procurement event.

Ceva are also currently working with the Future Ways Of Working Team on the development of materials and logistics planning. The existing contract with CEVA has been in place since 2015, throughout this period of time NGN have acquired a sizeable amount of contingency stock relating to Brexit that is currently stored within multiple CEVA locations - should NGN decide to cease this contract at the point of its current expiry there would be no other accommodating place to store the stock. If a 2 year extension with CEVA is approved this will allow for NGN to conduct a fully successful OJEU procurement tender event to award a new contract and also allow time for NGN to gradually reduce the current stockholding down to pre-Brexit levels in a way that mimimises the impact on the supply chain, which NGN anticipate may take some time. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003114-2021 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Feb 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £1,943,658 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHERN GAS NETWORKS LIMITED | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS15 8TU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Garforth & Swillington | | Westminster constituency | Leeds East | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CEVA LOGISTICS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 45213221 - Warehouse stores construction work - 79910000 - Management holdings services ## Release History - 16 Feb 2021 at 14:16 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003114-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.northerngas.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
