NGN, based in Colton Leeds, aims to appoint up to twelve suppliers for appliance supply and installation services across several regions of the United Kingdom, including Cumbria, as a dedicated area. This competitive flexible procedure is currently in the tender phase, with the expression of interest deadline set for 10th March 2026 at 17:00. The process involves several stages including the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) stage concluding on 19th March 2026, followed by an invitation to tender with stages spanning from April to June 2026. The service aims to aid vulnerable customers and is driven by NGN's dedication to customer assistance, specifically funded by Ofgem. Potential suppliers must adhere to stringent industry standards such as Gas Safe registration and required certifications. This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly smaller SMEs, to collaborate with NGN in delivering essential services across the UK. The framework agreement structure is tailored to create inclusive opportunities across NGN's network, with suppliers required for supply only or supply and installation of gas appliances. Participation requires compliance with industry regulations and a demonstration of capability through a competitive selection process. Business growth can be fostered through strategic positioning in geographical areas aligned with NGN’s operations, where suppliers will be selected based on criteria including location, price, and availability. This initiative not only ensures broad supplier participation but also enhances responsiveness and quality service delivery for vulnerable populations. ## Notice Northern Gas Networks (NGN) seeks to establish a zero-value framework agreement with qualified suppliers to provide appliance supply (where NGN's Direct Labour Organisation (DLO) will fit appliance) and/or supply & installation services (where NGN's DLO team is unable to deliver). This initiative supports NGN's commitment to assisting customers in vulnerable situations, funded by Ofgem. The framework will appoint to a maximum of twelve suppliers (6 for supply only and 6 for supply & installation), aligned to NGN's geographic patches, with Cumbria designated as a standalone area. This structure is designed to enable participation from smaller SMEs while ensuring coverage across the network. Suppliers will be responsible for either supply of appliances only or the supply, installation, repair, or replacement of gas appliances for eligible customers. Selection for individual jobs will be based on location, price, and availability at the time of request. All participating suppliers must align with OFGEM governance and meet mandatory competency and regulatory standards, including: Gas Safe registration Certification in CCN1, CENWAT, CKR1, and HTR1 Valid waste carrier licence The scope of work is network-wide, ensuring timely and safe delivery of essential services to vulnerable customers, identified through carbon monoxide investigations or during repair and maintenance activities on the gas distribution network. This framework aims to strengthen NGN's ability to respond quickly and effectively to customer needs, maintaining compliance with industry standards while promoting inclusivity for smaller suppliers. NGN will award to a maximum of 12 suppliers for the whole Framework. This consists of: A max of 1 supplier per area for supply & installation A max of 1 supplier per area for supply only With 6 areas that's a max supply of 6 suppliers for each supply type. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Initial term 3 years Extension 2 x 1 years ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020891-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2026 - 31 Aug 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £786,000 | | Lots value | £786,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHERN GAS NETWORKS LIMITED | | Locality | COLTON 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), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products ### Codes - 39700000 - Domestic appliances ## Release History - 9 Mar 2026 at 13:14 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020891-2026 - 12 Feb 2026 at 15:27 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013040-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020891-2026 9th March 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013040-2026 12th February 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-11957 ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
