## Summary

Northern Gas Networks Limited is procuring continued access to SAP cloud software and associated services for workforce management, training, analytics and operational data. The software includes SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and Learning, SAP Work Zone, SAP Analytics Cloud, identity access governance and related cloud functions. Supplied as Software-as-a-Service, the requirement covers ongoing licences, availability and support for agreed user volumes. The systems are integrated with Northern Gas Networks’ wider SAP environment and support business-critical HR and operational functions. This is a software supply service (CPV 72268000), delivered across the North East and Yorkshire in England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SAP (UK) Limited. The award is recorded as pending, with signature scheduled for 15 October 2026. The award value is £678,256.15 excluding VAT (£813,907.38 including VAT). The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. The original requirement described a period from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027. The contract was awarded directly, without competition, on technical grounds: SAP is the incumbent, and the software is configured and integrated with the buyer’s existing systems. The stated rationale is that an alternative would require system replacement or substantial reimplementation, with data migration, rebuilt integrations, process reconfiguration and user retraining. The procurement was not divided into multiple lots.

For suppliers seeking similar work from Northern Gas Networks, this award demonstrates demand for ongoing enterprise cloud software licences and support, particularly across HR, workforce learning, analytics, identity governance and operational data. The buyer’s reliance on an established SAP environment is central: a credible alternative would need to work with the existing architecture, data structures and interfaces, or provide a convincing transition that avoids substantial replacement, migration and disruption. Relevant capabilities include enterprise software integration, SaaS service continuity, licensing and support at the buyer’s required user volumes, and the ability to protect business-critical workforce and operational functions. Experience delivering within complex, integrated SAP estates would be particularly relevant. The direct award rationale indicates that technical interoperability and continuity, rather than a broad standalone software offer, shaped the successful supplier’s position.

## Notice

Continuation of SAP cloud-based enterprise software and services supporting Northern Gas Networks' core workforce management, training, analytics and operational data capabilities. The requirement includes SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, SAP SuccessFactors Learning, SAP Work Zone, SAP Analytics Cloud, identity access governance and associated cloud functionality. The services are provided on a Software-as-a-Service basis and include the continued availability, licensing and support of the systems in line with the contracted user volumes. The services are integrated with Northern Gas Networks' wider SAP environment and support business-critical HR, workforce, training and analytics functions across the organisation. The contract covers the period from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027. Estimated contract value: PS678,256.15 excluding VAT.

### Procurement Information

SAP (UK) Limited is the incumbent provider of Northern Gas Networks' enterprise ERP and cloud software estate, including SAP SuccessFactors and the associated cloud applications covered by this contract. The services are fully integrated with Northern Gas Networks' existing SAP architecture and underpin critical workforce management, training, analytics and operational data capabilities. The existing systems have been configured for Northern Gas Networks' requirements and are dependent upon established data structures, technical integrations and interfaces across the wider SAP environment. An alternative supplier could not provide the requirement within the existing environment without the replacement or substantial reimplementation of the current systems. This would require the migration of business-critical data, rebuilding of existing integrations, reconfiguration of business processes and retraining of users. Replacement would therefore create significant additional cost, implementation timescales, delivery risk and potential disruption to critical business services. Competition is absent for technical reasons associated with the interoperability, configuration and integration of the existing SAP environment. SAP (UK) Limited is the only supplier capable of providing the required continuation of these services without full system replacement and material operational disruption.
