Legal Justification

NGN have a contract with Brand Communications, which expires on the 31st of August 2024. Apollo Solution services are used on all NGN laptops, tablets System Control desktops and Offtake Site Comms PCs, to enable secure remote access to NGN's IT systems. This enables widescale home-working and supports secure day to day operations for NGN's field force and system control to access NGN services to conduct their work duties.Brand provide us capabilities within its services to overcome some critical restrictions within our AWS design architecture that Amazon natively does not support from an network routing prospective. We cannot overcome this challenge without re-architecting our AWS landscape. With Brand technologies we have been able to circumvent these restrictions with their expert Layer 2 Network skills and experience. Bridging our VPC landscapes would not have been feasible without Brand technologies whilst ensuring security principles were maintained throughout the solution implemented.This is also extended into our Operational landscape where utilising the Brand Communication services, we are able to drastically improve our CNI network coverage, performance, monitoring and security of telemetry and gas day quality data flows from our critical offtake sites. This software is a critical part of our IT infrastructure and would be a multi-million pound investment to replace, procure and swap out all devices if Brand was replaced. Therefore there is a need to renew the contract to save NGN time and money that has been spent on building our current infrastructure to replace this with a new solution.
