Explanation:
Northern Gas Networks (NGN) intend to renew their SAP Concur services for a 5 year
period. Without this renewal,NGN will lose access to key critical business applications.
Extending provides NGN with security of supply around this critical system. With NGN's

alternative would be a re-implementation of new technology, need to deploy and integrate a
brand new solution and re-train all users, which would be at a significant cost to NGN.
