## Summary

The buying organisation, Northern Gas Networks Limited, is seeking continued support and maintenance for their workforce shift planning solution under the title "Workforce Shift Planning Support and Maintenance". This procurement falls under the IT services industry category (CPV: 72000000) and is located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region (UKE) of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract being awarded on 28 November 2024. The procurement method used was limited, executed through negotiation without the publication of a contract notice, due to technical reasons and the specific customisation of the integrated software provided by the selected supplier, Total Mobile Limited.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those experienced with SAP integration and customised software solutions for operational planning. Companies that can offer robust and tailored maintenance services, ensuring seamless integration and minimal disruption to existing systems, would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. This contract’s specific requirement for continuity and technical compatibility highlights the importance of maintaining strong relationships with existing clients and expertise in highly integrated IT service environments.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

NGN will continue using services provided by Total Mobile. They provide NGN with an MRS solution for operational planned works which ensures timely and accurate shift pattern data residing in SAP.

### Procurement Information

The software is already integrated in the business and integrated with SAP and changing supplier would incur significant costs and risk. The risk of switching supplier would result in the loss of all of the current integrated links between SAP and WORKSuite. NGN also have a lot of customisation with the Total Mobile product that does not come as standard with alternative products so any alternative would require significant enhancement on top of the initial on boarding and reiteration with SAP which may not be possible.
