## Summary

Northern Gas Networks Limited commissioned additional design, development, testing and deployment services for its Apollo V3 Mobility Solution. The work covers solution design, software development and configuration, deployment support, integration and related technical services, to continue implementing the programme and keep it compatible with the existing Apollo platform, AWS-hosted environment and operational technology systems. Delivery relates to Northern Gas Networks’ operations in North East England and Yorkshire. The requirement is specialist software and systems development and integration, rather than a general telecommunications service. The modification supports the next phase of an established mobility solution and maintains continuity with the existing platform and its operational interfaces.

The contract modification was awarded to Brand Communications Ltd, the existing supplier, and the contract is active. It was signed on 16 March 2026 and runs to 31 August 2027. The recorded contract value is £1,344,000; the modification adds £150,000 excluding VAT. Northern Gas Networks used a direct award for additional services from the original contractor, citing technical and economic reasons: the work is closely linked to the existing Apollo architecture, configurations, AWS environment and operational integrations. The buyer states that changing supplier would require knowledge transfer, redevelopment and validation, with additional cost, delivery risk and potential delay. The modification leaves the overall nature of the contract unchanged. The work is described as one requirement, with no separate lot-level award stated.

For suppliers considering similar work for Northern Gas Networks, this award shows demand for specialist capability across software design and development, configuration, testing, deployment and integration of a business-critical mobility platform. Credibility depends on being able to work within an established technical environment and maintain interoperability across the Apollo solution, AWS-hosted infrastructure and operational technology and business systems. The buyer’s stated rationale also highlights the commercial importance of platform knowledge, continuity and reducing the risks of knowledge transfer, redevelopment, validation and disruption. A future competitor would need to demonstrate relevant integration experience, technical delivery capacity and a practical approach to maintaining existing services while extending the platform. This is a substantial, integrated programme rather than a standalone software task; the selected supplier was an established provider with specific knowledge of the solution.

### Lot Information
