Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Negotiated without a prior call for competition
- New works/services, constituting a repetition of existing works/services
Explanation:
NGNs procurement strategy for the provision of engineering design services for its capital delivery program was to incorporate such services within the work delivery frameworks. As such the existing framework for the provision of these engineering services was allowed to lapse. As such NGN have taken the decision to extend the existing framework until the end of September 2023. The procurement process for a new framework is underway. Following an Expression of Interest process (EOI) conducted via Achilles UVDB a pre-qualification process has been completed with all participants having been notified of status. The next stage of this procurement process will be to issue a formal invitation to tender to the pre-qualified participants.
