## Summary

Northern Gas Networks Limited has completed a public procurement process titled "Labour Resources Cumbria," focused on the industry category of repair and maintenance services. This framework agreement aims to support the operational projects and work orders in the region of Cumbria, with Northern Gas Networks (NGN) engaging pre-qualified suppliers. The tender falls under the main procurement category of services and has an estimated annual spend of approximately £15k for Cumbria. The procurement stage is complete, and contracts have been awarded as of 1st October 2024. The procurement method employed was negotiated without publication of a contract notice, due to no suitable tenders being submitted during the initial competitive procedure.

This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in services such as joinery, carpet fitting, drain repair, and general building services. The estimated total annual value for work under this framework is around £450k, with multiple call-offs expected, reflecting a high volume of work across various assets. Businesses like Nationwide Property Solutions and SPH Property Maintenance, who have secured contracts, will benefit from consistency and volume of work. Suppliers with expertise in domestic and non-domestic property repairs, flooring, glazing, and small construction works will find this tender especially suitable for business growth by securing a stable pipeline of projects from NGN.

## Notice

This Labour Resources framework agreement is to support Northern Gas Networks (NGN) in delivering a large portfolio of operational projects & works orders. This framework will assist NGN's Operations to engage with a range of contracted suppliers who are pre-qualified to carry out associated works. The estimated total annual value of work delivered under this framework will be in the region of PS450k and NGN will be looking to award a maximum of three contractors per lot, per area onto this framework. There will be multiple call offs against this framework throughout its term to reflect the high volume of work on many assets in various locations across our network. Estimated number of annual engagements is circa 1,00 per annum. This single source is for the region of Cumbria only where the spend is estimated at circa PS15k per annum

### Lot Information

Joinery Services

Generally, this would be in support of our Emergency Service whereby NGN upon attendance at a gas emergency would require a "forced entry" to both domestic and non-domestic properties along with the repair and replacement following such activities. Repair and alterations to customer's property would also be a requirement within our planned works Replacement Programme where access to meter controls is difficult and hence alterations to kitchen cupboards etc. would be required along with replacement/repair/removal of wood, laminate flooring & replacement of doors and glazing.

Carpet Fitting

Generally, this requirement is for the provision of re-instating an existing carpet which has been lifted by one of our engineers. There may be occasions where we request a full carpet fit but this is rare.

Drain Repair Services

A much-utilised service surrounding damaged drains and duct repairs. There is a business requirement for this mainly during daytime hours including weekends and bank holidays.

General Building Services

The main requirement is small works such as plastering, rendering, wall repair & tiling for domestic and commercial properties where our engineers have a need for any reinstatement. There are occasions where a full quotation following site visit will be needed for any jobs that would take longer than a day to complete

### 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. A tender was published for a framework of suppliers in March 2021 and there was no response for the area of Cumbria for Joinery, General Building Services, Drain Repair and Carpet fitting. Therefore a direct award is being made to Nationwide Property Solutions and SPH Property Maintenance to carry out these essential services. The value of spend is estimated at PS15k per annum
