Calibration certificates inclusive of meter correction factors and applicable calibration conditions such as flow rates and temperatures and all applicable meter information. Options: Contract may be extended by 2 x 1years ### Procurement Information Northern Gas Networks (NGN) operate gas offtakes sites. These sites use a combination of different fiscal metering types to calculate the volume of gas passing through site. NGN are required to have the High Pressure (HP) Meters calibrated at a UKAS accredited facility at predetermined intervals. The service provider must deliver static high pressure 6-point calibrations using natural gas across a range of meter types, sizes and flow rates. These will include ultrasonic, turbine and orifice plate meters. Calibrations may require the inclusion of customer provided metering spool pieces and flow conditioners. The service provider must be UKAS accredited. Calibration certificates must include meter correction factors and applicable calibration conditions such as flow rates and temperatures and all applicable meter information. A Call for Competition was issue via an Express of Interest (EOI) in Achilles on 19th January 2023 to seek competition for the calibration of the HP Meters. One company came forward to offer their in-house services, no other viable competition responded to the EOI, which closed on 31st January 2023. On these grounds a competitive tender will not be ran for the provision of calibration of the HP Meters. This work will not be outsourced due to the operation risk to NGN. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017769-2023 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure with prior call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 Mar 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | 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), TLD1 Cumbria, TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLE1 East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire, TLE2 North Yorkshire, TLE3 South Yorkshire, TLE4 West Yorkshire, TLF3 Lincolnshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50433000 - Calibration services ## Release History - 22 Jun 2023 at 10:35 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017769-2023 - 10 Mar 2023 at 15:20 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/007107-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://www.northerngas.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
