The framework has fifteen participating suppliers, and NGN is re-tendering the framework in four above-threshold procurement events. The retendering process involves different stages with varying deadlines, with Framework 1 concluding in January 2024 and the remaining frameworks expected to be in place by the end of June 2024. This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of construction structures, materials, and auxiliary products to participate in NGN's Capital Projects. Companies supplying items like pipes, valves, filters, safety devices, power supplies, and more are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. NGN, being the buying organisation, is seeking to establish a revised vendor database framework through a limited procurement method, creating avenues for suppliers to engage and potentially secure contracts within the specified deadlines. ## Notice NGN's QVD (Quality Vendor Database Framework) is a series of contracts related to the supply of products and equipment for use in Capital Projects undertaken across the NGN Network.
