The estimated annual expenditure is approximately £1.5 million, and the tender is categorized under repair and maintenance services. This multi-region opportunity covers several geographic areas within the UK, including regions like North East, South East, and London, among others. The procurement process, currently in the tender stage, follows a competitive flexible procedure where interested suppliers must engage through Market Dojo, with the completion of a PQQ by 21st August 2026. The framework, with call-off contracts, aims to appoint up to three suppliers per Lot and Area, with a contract period beginning 1st March 2027, potentially extending until 2035. This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs with expertise in utilities and repair services, such as joinery, electrical, scaffolding, and drainage repair. Suppliers capable of delivering both planned and reactive services across multiple disciplines are well-suited to compete. The framework structure allows for the potential awarding of multiple Lots and Areas, encouraging competition and offering a chance for suppliers to secure substantial engagements over an extended period. The opportunity to be involved in long-term, high-value projects with a reputable buyer like Northern Gas Networks provides a pathway for businesses to expand their service portfolio and footprint within the industry. ## Notice Northern Gas Networks (NGN) is seeking to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of labour resource services to support the delivery of operational activities and works across its gas distribution network. The Framework Agreement will provide NGN with access to pre-qualified suppliers capable of supplying labour resources and associated services to support a broad range of planned, reactive and emergency works across multiple operational locations within the NGN network area. Call-off contracts will be awarded in accordance with the terms of the Framework Agreement. NGN's estimated annual expenditure under the Framework Agreement is approximately PS1.5 million. This value is provided for indicative planning purposes only and does not constitute any guarantee, commitment or representation regarding the volume, nature, frequency or value of work that may be awarded during the term of the Framework Agreement.
