Description
NGN's QVD (Quality Vendor Database Framework) is a series of contracts related to the supply of products and equipment for use in Capital Projects undertaken across the NGN Network. A tender was completed in 2023-4 with the intention of awarding a Framework to various suppliers for the supply of equipment. No suppliers were awarded a place on the Framework for the supply of Pre-Heating equipment so NGN will now enter directly into contracts with suppliers to ensure that this equipment can be provided when required.
