## Summary

The procurement process led by Northern Gas Networks Limited involves the acquisition of Gas Detection Units and Personal Alarm Monitoring Systems (PAMS), crucial for maintaining operational safety across its service area in the United Kingdom. Situated in Colton Leeds, NGN, a private utility company, has engaged in a direct award procurement method with Teledyne Gas Measurement Instruments Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Renfrew. This contract signifies the importance of using standardised equipment previously deployed by NGN to reduce user errors and improve safety measures. The contract was awarded on the 16th of April 2026, with a scheduled signature date on the 1st of July 2026, and spans until the 30th of June 2029, with the potential for extension up to 2031.

This tender creates strong prospects for business growth, particularly for suppliers of specialised gas detection and monitoring equipment. Companies that focus on producing reliable, high-quality equipment within the utilities sector would find this contract beneficial. Those capable of offering consistent supply and maintenance services can leverage the opportunities to partner long-term with entities like Northern Gas Networks. The nature of the direct award process implies potential cost savings in training and equipment standardisation, favouring businesses that can seamlessly integrate products with existing infrastructures, thereby reducing operational disruptions and enhancing field efficiency.

## Notice

Scope of this Contract/Procurement relates solely to the purchase of Gas Detection Units & Personal Alarm Monitoring System (PAMS) Northern Gas Networks (NGN) has consistently deployed Teledyne Gas Measurement Instruments Ltd equipment for several years, with all operatives trained on this standardised kit. Maintaining a single, familiar equipment type is central to minimising user error and ensuring consistent operational safety. NGN's workshop depots provide minor in-house servicing, repair enabling efficient turnaround and continuity of operations. Replacement units are issued during servicing to avoid downtime, supporting uninterrupted field activity. The main deliverable of this procurement is the continued supply of approved Gas Detection units and PAMS, with future purchases made on an ad-hoc basis to replace equipment that is beyond economic repair due to wear or damage. Retaining the existing supplier avoids the need for retraining, prevents inconsistencies between differing equipment types, and mitigates the increased risk of cable strikes associated with unfamiliar tools. The purpose of this procurement is to maintain a reliable, standardised, and safety-focused equipment base across the full NGN geography, ensuring continuity of service, operational efficiency, and effective cable-strike prevention.

### Procurement Information

Additional or repeat goods, services or works - further goods, services or works following a competitive procedure Additional or repeat goods, services or works - extension or partial replacement. Consideration has been taken between tendering and single sourcing. It is felt that there would be hidden costs if tendered i.e. training on new equipment, inconstancies between use of 2 differing brands which may cause issues with user error possibly resulting in difficulty when using breathing apparatus. NGN Workshop Depots have the capabilities to service and maintain the equipment to a certain level along with easy repairs - retraining would be need here too. Single Source brings about hidden costs savings that would not be visible if tendered.
