## Summary

The Northern Gas Networks Limited (NGN) is currently engaged in public procurement for a contract titled "WAN, LAN and Unified Communications," categorised under IT services and telecommunications. This procurement process, which is at the Award stage, follows an extension of an existing contract with Vodafone due to the complex migration needs away from their circuits. The contract was signed on 29 March 2022, with a value of £650,000, and pertains to services supplied across NGN's various offices and depots in the region of Leeds, UK. This limited procurement method was adopted as it did not require prior publication of a call for competition, compliant with regulatory criteria.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications, IT services, and network infrastructure as NGN transitions its services. Companies with experience in providing unified communications and those that can demonstrate capability in executing complex migrations of telecommunications systems would be particularly well-suited to compete. The extension of the contract signifies ongoing needs, indicating a stable market for suppliers looking to engage with NGN in delivering critical communications infrastructure.

## Notice

The scope of the contract encompasses unified comms (UC) services which provide the telecommunications network (WAN, LAN and WiFi) across all offices and depots

### Lot Information

Lot 1

NGN have re-tendered WAN/LAN services and it is anticipated that a new contract will commence from the implementation complete date (around February 2023). NGN need additional time to migrate away from Vodafone's circuits, so this contract extension will allow for that. This contract is for unified comms (UC) services which provide the telecommunications network (WAN, LAN and WiFi) across all of NGN's offices and depots. This is an extension of the existing contract with Vodafone. A VEAT was issued on 04/02/2021 to cover the extension until 07/03/2022 and a further VEAT was to cover 08/03/2022 - 07/03/2023 which this award notice refers to.

### Procurement Information

This award notice is for the extension of the existing contract with Vodafone. NGN have re tendered this contract and are awarded a new contract in March 2022. This extension is required to migrate away from the existing provider and their circuits as this will be a complex migration. NGN will run two parallel services until such time Vodafone circuits are ceased.
