What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionIn September 2021 NGN started work with Westwood Technical to utilise their proprietary LoRaWAN based pressure management solution for use on its Gas Network. The work and subsequent trials have come to fruition and NGN will now be procuring the equipment required to commence the wider implementation of the technology. It is NGN's understanding that there are no alternative LoRaWAN based pressure management solutions available for use on the gas network. This work is a direct follow on from a previous contract awarded to Westwood Technical as a result of a below threshold procurement. The value stated in this VEAT notice incorporates this new contract and the original below threshold contract awarded in September 2021

- Why no open competition
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
This work is a continuation of work already undertaken which was originally below threshold and commenced in 2021. This is furthermore supported by Reg 50 of the UCR (c) where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons- (ii) competition is absent for technical reasons; (iii), where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and (f) for new works or services consisting in the repetition of similar works or services assigned to the contractor to which the same utility awarded an earlier contract, provided that such works or services conform to a basic project for which a first contract was awarded following a procedure in accordance with regulation 44(1) and (2)

- Change This modification relates to the provision of Installation and Commissioning Services which were originally outside the scope of the initial contract along with the provision of 12 Kiosks for housing that equipment also, Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The equipment to be installed and commissioned is proprietary equipment . It is not available elsewhere and as such the organization in question is the only source with the appropriate skill set to install and commission that equipment. It also stands to reason that they are the optimal source for bespoke equipment housings which relate to that equipment also. When the contract was originally awarded the commissioning and installation element had not been fully explored partly due to the fact that precise locations had not been determined. This has now been finalized and and such the costs are now understood and can be incorporated in the contract as a variation
