What is being bought
One of the challenges that NGN have in managing their assets is that they are frequently covered up or built over by the likes of the local authorities or other utility companies during reinstatement or repair works, meaning that they may be difficult to locate should there an urgent need. This particular equipment provides a solution to enable NGN to monitor assets consistently. This product "Valve Track" is a piece of hardware that is retrofitted into the valve chamber to allow valves and other underground assets to be quickly located in the form of an ATEX approved, IP68 rated, decoded Bluetooth beacon connected to a cloud-based platform. This equipment is proprietary to the supplying organisation and is subsequently unavailable elsewhere. The contract includes the long term provision of monitoring services, software and support.

No-engagement rationaleNot published
Procedure rationaleThe equipment to be provided is proprietary to the supplying organisation and is therefore not available elsewhere. This is supported by regulation 50 which states (1) Utilities may use the negotiated procedure without prior call for competition in the following cases- (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;
