## Summary

The Northern Gas Networks Limited has recently completed a procurement process titled "Labour Resources." This tender falls under the classification of repair and maintenance services, aimed at providing essential operational support across six distinct lots such as joinery, electrical services, drain repair, general building services, scaffolding, and carpet fitting/cleaning. The procurement was conducted using a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition. The successful bidders were notified on 30th September 2021, with the overall framework valued at approximately £2.7 million for a term of six years.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the construction and maintenance sectors. Companies with capabilities in joinery, electrical work, drainage services, and general building services could particularly benefit from engaging with Northern Gas Networks, which is focused on enhancing operational activities while ensuring compliance and safety across their projects. The framework allows for multiple suppliers per lot, presenting a competitive environment for interested parties.

### Procurement Information

Regulation 50 of the 2016 UCR states the following: 'Utilities may use the negotiated procedure without prior call for competition in the following case: (a) Where no tenders, no suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable request to participate have been submitted in response to a procedure with a prior call for competition, provided that the initial conditions of the contract are not substantially altered. To this end, the following suppliers have been singled sourced to enhance the framework: - Cole Construction Services - PVF Scaffolding
