KEY PUBLISHED FACTS

  • Contact email: acotton@northerngas.co.uk
  • Recorded contact: acotton@northerngas.co.uk

Published route is closed, inactive, withdrawn or already awarded.

WHY RADAR THINKS PURA MAY FIT

Physical works or professional services are required. References to systems, portals or audit trails do not establish a software opportunity. This is a Pura hypothesis; detailed scope, delivery capability and procurement constraints still need checking.

Confidence: MEDIUM — notice scope only

Known: the saved buyer requirement above.
Inferred: potential Pura capability match; not buyer-confirmed.

What still needs checking

  • Detailed workflows and acceptance criteria
  • Integration and security requirements
  • Direct contact permission and procurement constraints
  • Proof effort and bounded paid discovery acceptance

ACTIVITY

  1. — Radar last recorded source evidence.
  2. — Radar discovered the opportunity.

HUMAN CHECK

Official source available: YES
Radar fully expanded source: YES

Key facts verified: contact, route, stage — according to saved evidence; check current source.

Outstanding verification

  • Detailed workflows and acceptance criteria

Where required, the contract may also include the provision of remedial works arising from survey findings to maintain the safety, integrity, and operational performance of the pipeline network.\nThis procurement seeks to establish a contract for the delivery of these specialist services across NGN's geographical operating area, ensuring the continued monitoring, assessment, maintenance, and protection of pipeline river crossings.
