The requirement in this instance being for Pipe & Flanges to Gas industry specification. NGN did formally tender this requirement as an above threshold procurement event. It was published via Achilles UVDB using the following codes 3.15.16-Pipes & Fittings - Stainless Steel, 3.15.11-Pipe Fittings - Clamps & Collars, 1.1.8-Fasteners & Fixings, 1.1.8.1-Bolts - Non Ferrous, 1.1.8.4-Bolts - High Temperature, 1.1.8.8-Studs - Non Ferrous, 1.1.8.10-Studs - High Tensile, 1.1.8.11-Studs - High Temperature, 1.1.8.13-Nuts - High Tensile, 1.1.8.15-Washers, 3.21.2-Mechanical Seals & Gaskets, 3.15.36-Spiral - metal, laminated metal foil gaskets and metal joints, 3.15.10-Pipes & Fittings - Steel, 3.15.10.8-Pipe Fittings & Flanges - Carbon Steel (Gas 7 Bar). The aim being to capture as many as possible suitable suppliers. The result being that he PQQ issued to 206 Achilles registered suppliers. 6 Only responded. The published aim of the Framework was to achieve a minimum of 5 suppliers per lot, the Lot structure being. Lot 1 Pipe, Lot 2 Flanges, Lot 3 Bolts, Nuts, Washers Lot 4 Gaskets & Soft Iron Rings. Regarding Lot 1 Pipe and Lot 2 Flanges the outcome of the process resulted in one supplier for Pipe and two suppliers for Flanges. Due to the low take up it is NGN's intention to engage with suppliers directly. The same pre-qualification process and criteria for the original tender process is being used and that the addition of new suppliers to the Framework will not affect the status of those suppliers already awarded onto it, irrespective of scoring of the PQQ submissions. Those already awarded onto this Framework have been made aware of NGN's intentions in this regard in its aim to establish a robust qualified supply base for these lots. ## Lots (2) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** Not published - **CPV codes:** 44160000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC, UKD, UKE - **Description:** NGN has a constant requirement through its capital delivery programme for the ongoing supply of various parts and components to enable the completion of such works.
