description:
The short-term extension described in II.1.4 will defer the conclusion of the UK MSA by 18 months from 31 December 2023 to 30 June 2025.
NG had previously sought to procure a replacement for the Relevant Services, through two Lots that were included in a current procurement event . This procurement event was related to a global networks programme and was jointly advertised by NG and its US affiliate National Grid USA Service Company, Inc. However, those Lots have now been withdrawn from that procurement event by NG.
The Lots were withdrawn due to certain changes (and an ongoing state of flux) in both external circumstances and NG group strategy. NG currently intends that a new procurement event will be commenced later in 2022, with NG's requirements having been updated to reflect the prevailing position and with appropriate revisions to enable a successful transition to a new contract. In the meantime, NG is extending the UK MSA to secure the ongoing provision of the Relevant Services by Verizon, during the forthcoming anticipated period of change and flux.
The key factors necessitating NG's decision to extend the UK MSA are as follows (the Key Factors):
1. Advances in the development of the enterprise model since the procurement event was launched: this includes the need to support the accelerated advancement of several strategic NG technology programmes, which require a different approach to NG network capabilities to that envisaged by the previous procurement event. The successful development of the enterprise model also requires the dedication of scarce, specialist NG resources. The diversion of those resources to management of the transition to a new contract and supplier relationship for the Relevant Services (as had originally been envisaged by the previous procurement event) would be detrimental, and import significant risk, to NG's interests in successfully developing its enterprise model and delivering its strategic technology programmes.
2. Migration risk: separate from the services that were sought through the procurement event, NG is currently in the process of transitioning its hosting (data centre) environments from its previous supplier to its new supplier. The concurrent award of a new contract for the Relevant Services, and the need to on-board a new supplier at the same time as the hosting migration, would create significant additional transition risk.
3. Substantial business change: the NG group is undergoing a period of substantial business change, the scale and profile of which has emerged since the previous procurement event was launched. This includes: the divestment of the UK gas transmission business; the sale of Rhode Island business in the US; the acquisition of Western Power Distribution in the UK; and other potentially significant changes. These business changes require a stable, reliable network environment to enable the successful transformation and transition of NG systems to the divested and the acquired businesses. Given these complexities, NG considers it imperative that this transformation and transition is prioritised, to ensure successful completion, before NG embarks upon the scale of major change and transformation that would result from the award of a new contract or transitioning to a new supplier for the Relevant Services.
The extension of the UK MSA by NG is a permitted change under the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (UCR) for the reasons described in this notice.
Verizon has similar contracts in place with NG's group operations in the US, with similar short-term extensions being entered into. Those US operations are not the subject of this notice.
Due to the current and future public procurement events NG is unable to disclose commercially sensitive price information concerning the UK MSA or the extension. The contract values stated in this notice have therefore been set at £1 (and have been completed only due to mandatory fields) and should be disregarded when viewing this notice. Additional information: The Relevant Services include: the NOC; non-operational network services for the NG global enterprise business; WAN connectivity (for NG sites, offices, data centres, internet and cloud); LAN services (including site wireless networks); voice services; and network security. The NG enterprise IT network scope covers approximately 600 sites (nearly 400 in the UK).

title: UK managed telecommunication network services

description:
This notice concerns the short-term extension of a managed telecommunication network services agreement, awarded by National Grid UK Limited (NG) to Verizon on 29 November 2010 (UK MSA). The services under the UK MSA include provision of a network and infrastructure operations centre (NOC) and network management services (together, the Relevant Services).
The original duration of the UK MSA was up to 12 years, comprised of an initial transition period (2 years and 6 months), a service period (up to 8 years) and a handback period (18 months), with Verizon obliged to continue providing all services during the handback period.
The UK MSA has been the subject of two previous amendments (in July 2018 and January 2021), including to extend the duration of the service period by one year.
For the reasons described in this notice, NG is now extending the UK MSA by a further 18 months.
Due to the current and future public procurement events NG is unable to disclose commercially sensitive price information concerning the UK MSA or the extension. The contract values stated in this notice have therefore been set at £1 (and have been completed only due to mandatory fields) and should be disregarded when viewing this notice.

description: Networks

procurementMethodRationale:
NG is extending the UK MSA through an amendment agreement. The extension of the UK MSA by NG is a permitted change under the UCR. First, it is not a substantial modification within the meaning of Regulation 88(7), and the extension is therefore permitted by Regulation 88(1)(e). Second, even where the extension is a substantial modification, it is permitted by the exemption in Regulation 88(1)(b). For completeness, and to maximise transparency, NG will also publish a modification notice under Regulation 88(2) in due course.
The extension is not a substantial modification because:
(a) It does not render the UK MSA materially different in character from the contract initially concluded. It is simply a short-term extension of the duration of the service period, and concerns exactly the same services.
(b) It does not introduce conditions which, had they been part of the initial procurement procedure through which the UK MSA was awarded, would have: allowed for the admission of other candidates than those initially selected; allowed for the acceptance of a tender other than that originally accepted; or attracted additional participants.
(c) There is no change in the economic balance of the UK MSA in favour of Verizon in a manner which was not provided for in the UK MSA. The various component prices applicable during the extension period are either remaining the same or being reduced. Changes to the service levels are also being made to strengthen the contractual requirements and increase performance thresholds.
(d) The extension does not extend the scope of the UK MSA considerably. There are no changes in the scope of the services to be delivered. The extension of the duration is short-term (18 months) in the context of the original maximum contract duration, proportionate given the complexity of the Relevant Services and NG's developing requirements, and the minimum required to cover the forthcoming anticipated period of change and flux for NG.
(e) The contractor will remain the same.
Even where the extension is a substantial modification (which, as explained above, it is not), it is permitted by Regulation 88(1)(b) because:
1. There are additions to the contracted services (i.e. the continuation of exactly the same services during the extended service period) that have become necessary and that can be supplied by the original contractor. The continued provision of the Relevant Services during the extension period is necessary, in that it is essential to the functioning of NG's business.
2. Those additions were not included in the initial procurement.
3. A change of contractor cannot be made for economic and technical reasons. In particular, the technical complexity and scale of the Relevant Services means that the cost of migration to a new supplier is estimated to be circa £3.8 million. This would be a disproportionate economic burden for NG to bear given the ongoing change and flux. The current situation means that NG's specific requirements for the medium and long term cannot yet be defined with certainty, with the strategy still under review. Entering into a new contract now could result in two migrations in short order (from Verizon to the new supplier, and then potentially - in whole or in part - from the new supplier to another person) depending on the final strategy.
4. A change of contractor at this point in time would cause significant inconvenience for NG given the ongoing change and flux, and other overlapping resource-intensive and business critical change projects, as explained in the Key Factors in II.2.4. It would also cause substantial duplication of costs.

NEPO is looking to put in place a concession contract to enable the long-term investment in the regional electric vehicle charging infrastructure (EVCI). This investment is needed to upgrade, operate and maintain the current network and to resource its expansion in order to secure a sustainable long-term future for it. NEPO and its Member Authorities recognise the importance of the regional EVCI in securing economic and community health benefits alongside supporting the growth in the adoption of electric vehicles and the achievement of targets for the decarbonisation of transport.
NEPO and its Member Authorities intend to deliver a procurement solution which will deliver the following outcomes.
• To establish a relationship with a sole supplier to work with NEPO and its stakeholders to deliver the investment needed to develop, grow and sustain the region's EV charging infrastructure for the long-term.
• To have a supply partner capable of delivering within the context of mixed network baseline positions, various funding models and across a diversity of locations and stakeholders from local authorities to other public sector service bodies.
• To help reduce and minimise the proliferation of different charging infrastructure and associated payment systems in order to improve electric vehicle customers' experience.
• Through the accumulation of the above help NEPO and its Member Authorities to achieve and maximise the economic, health and environmental benefits that can be delivered.
• To maximise commercial opportunities in order to support the ongoing maintenance and growth of the EVCI to keep pace with the predicted growth in use of electric vehicles.
The initial requirement will be focused on the needs of five (5) local authority areas and a separate public body stakeholder with further detail to be included in the published tender. The full term of the contract period is still to be determined but will be a minimum of 15 years.
The purpose of the prior information notice (PIN) is to provide advance notice to the market place for the future opportunity and the intention to hold a market consultation meeting with
suppliers to help shape the future agreement. NEPO are not issuing this PIN as a mechanism to reduce future procurement timescales.
The intention is to hold a market consultation event. Further details on this and how to register interest in participation will be issued via the NEPO Portal and any supplier want to be involved should ensure they are signed up to the portal via https://www.nepo.org/suppliers/portal. Attendance at the market consultation is optional and does not provide suppliers with an advantage in any future related procurement. Attendance also does not constitute as an intention to tender for any future related procurement.
