## Summary

The NORTHERN GAS NETWORKS LIMITED has awarded a contract for the Aircom LoRaWAN Project in Leeds and Middlesbrough to Westwood Technical Ltd. The project involves the deployment of LoRaWAN technology for networks and includes the provision of installation and commissioning services, along with the supply of 12 kiosks to house the equipment. The contract period runs from 1st October 2022 to 31st December 2022, with a total contract value of GBP 799,385.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the goods procurement category, particularly those with expertise in network installations and commissioning services, to compete. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication, based on technical reasons that permitted awarding to a specific economic operator. Businesses in the installation and bespoke equipment manufacturing sectors would find this tender well-suited for participation due to the specialized nature of the required services and equipment.

## Notice

In September 2021 NGN started work with Westwood Technical to utilise their proprietary LoRaWAN based pressure management solution for use on its Gas Network. The work and subsequent trials have come to fruition and NGN will now be procuring the equipment required to commence the wider implementation of the technology. It is NGN's understanding that there are no alternative LoRaWAN based pressure management solutions available for use on the gas network. This work is a direct follow on from a previous contract awarded to Westwood Technical as a result of a below threshold procurement. The value stated in this VEAT notice incorporates this new contract and the original below threshold contract awarded in September 2021
