What is being bought

NGN's current GIS landscape is built up of multiple complex, bespoke systems, which were setup by ESRI, which have been added to over the time and contain custom code supported by ESRI under an NGN agreement. Many of these systems have been or will soon be retired following NGN's recent investment to update our underlying GIS software. The work that we are doing with NGN's contracting partner to enhance our mapping software is reliant on ESRI technology but has given us the opportunity to review what our future landscape could look like from both an architectural and user perspective. Future licences and support will form part of the GISU programme, however, owing to a delay with this project and the requirement to upgrade core ESRI technology has resulted in NGN having to extend the current arrangements with ESRI to ensure ongoing support for the current live solutions.

Lot details

Lot 1

3 month extension to current support agreement. NGN contract ESRI to provide software and support for our GIS system which is used by our NGN field engineers and other operational staff to help identify, maintain and capture gas data information on all our below ground assets and geographical information.This includes a Technical Support Agreement (TSA) which provides support for custom code on our legacy applications, such as Collector App, which form a critical part of our data capturing process. The current agreement expires in December 2022 which will need extending for 3 months until such time NGN's new GIS system goes live, after which this support will no longer be required. ESRI UK is the official UK distributor of this software and NGN have chosen to work directly with ESRI rather than use a reseller to provide this support.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (72000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7210,5392 median · 15.4 average (4,163 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,054 of 10,539 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer51 median · 1 average (2 of 5 with a bid count)1 average (4 of 5 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKE4451 median · 11.9 average (200 of 445 with a bid count)2.4 average (228 of 445 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Procurement method rationaleNGN require a 3 month extension to our current Technical Support Agreement with ESRI. The reasons are as follows: NGN's current GIS landscape is built up of multiple complex, bespoke systems, which were setup by ESRI, which have been added to over the time and contain custom code supported by ESRI under an NGN agreement. Many of these systems have been or will soon be retired following our recent investment to update our underlying GIS software. The work that we are doing with NGN's contracting partner to enhance our mapping software is reliant on ESRI technology but has given us the opportunity to review what our future landscape could look like from both an architectural and user perspective. Future licences and support will form part of the GISU programme, however, owing to a delay with this project and the requirement to upgrade core ESRI technology has resulted in NGN having to extend the current arrangements with ESRI for a further 3 months to ensure ongoing support for the current live solutions.

    "procurementMethodRationale": "NGN require a 3 month extension to our current Technical Support Agreement with ESRI.\nThe reasons are as follows:\nNGN's current GIS landscape is built up of multiple complex, bespoke systems, which were setup by ESRI, which have been added to over the time and contain custom code supported\nby ESRI under an NGN agreement.\nMany of these systems have been or will soon be retired following our recent investment to update our underlying GIS software. The work that we are doing with NGN's contracting partner to enhance our mapping software is reliant on ESRI technology but has given us the opportunity to review what our future landscape could look like from both an architectural and user perspective.\nFuture licences and support will form part of the GISU programme, however, owing to a delay with this project and the requirement to upgrade core ESRI technology has\nresulted in NGN having to extend the current arrangements with ESRI for a further 3 months to ensure ongoing support for the current live solutions.",
