## Summary

Northern Gas Networks Limited has recently completed the award stage of a public procurement process for the "Acumen Insight" project, under the utilities sector, focusing on software programming and consultancy services. This procurement involves a contract with Acumen Insights Ltd, extending from 15th May 2025 to 13th May 2030. It covers multiple delivery locations across the UK, including regions such as UKC, UKD1, and UKE. The procurement was conducted through a direct award method, justified by the bespoke nature of the systems developed since 2016 and the significant investments made by Northern Gas Networks Limited. The contract's value totals £600,000 gross, with services including the development of NGN-specific applications like the 'NRSWA' and 'Safety Hub' for Android.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in bespoke software solutions tailored to specific industry needs, especially within the utilities sector. Companies that can provide innovative, customised software solutions could similarly benefit from direct award contracts, which often favour those with proven track records and established relationships with specific utility providers. Businesses seeking to expand into this sector would benefit from demonstrating their capacity to deliver industry-specific technological solutions, thereby positioning themselves as indispensable service providers for ongoing and future technological advancements in utility management.

## Notice

NGN have a Evergreen Contract in place with Acumen who have developed bespoke systems and support the Site Safety Hub and NRSWA mobile applications for NGN. Acumen have further developed the Apps and Services tailored to NGN requirements to include NGN 'NRSWA' Smart Phone Application for Android & NGN 'Safety Hub' Smart Phone Application for Android. NGN data is hosted, stored and backed up by Acumen.

### Procurement Information

NGN have heavily invested in these bespoke systems since 2016. There are no off the shelf products that would fulfill NGN legal requirements and reporting obligations. Should NGN look to other suppliers to procure similar software then we would need to invest significantly to replicate the infrastructure already built.
