Framework for Labour Resources

Northern Gas Networks (NGN) is seeking to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of labour resource services to support the delivery of operational activities and works across its gas distribution network. The Framework Agreement will provide NGN with access to pre-qualified suppliers capable of supplying labour resources and associated services to support a broad range of planned, reactive and emergency works across multiple operational locations within the NGN network area. Call-off contracts will be awarded in accordance with the terms of the Framework Agreement. NGN's estimated annual expenditure under the Framework Agreement is approximately £1.5 million. This value is provided for indicative planning purposes only and does not constitute any guarantee, commitment or representation regarding the volume, nature, frequency or value of work that may be awarded during the term of the Framework Agreement. Subject to the outcome of the procurement process, NGN intends to appoint up to three (3) suppliers per Lot, within each geographic area, to the Framework Agreement. Suppliers are strongly advised to review all procurement documentation associated with this event and ensure they fully understand the requirements, evaluation methodology, scope of services, and instructions contained within the tender documents. It is the responsibility of each supplier to consider all information provided as part of this procurement when preparing and submitting their response. Failure to take account of the information contained within the procurement documents, including any supporting guidance and information published through Market Dojo, may adversely affect a supplier's submission.
