Legal Justification

The current contract for the provision of logistics services expires on 30th June 2021 with no further option to extend. Ceva Logistics provide logistical services in order to support the Gas distribution infrastructure ensuring a fast and efficient service allowing NGN to outperform all Regulatory and Customer Service targets. Ceva are responsible for the management and operations of all logistics activity which comprises of: * Provision of warehouse management and delivery staff * Warehousing facility - located within NGN Geographic coverage * Distribution - direct to site & centralised delivery system to engineers and depots * Meter management & distribution * Materials planning * Stock level optimisation * Stock profiling * Vendor performance reporting * Stock management. The Contract includes the management of stock levels and Ceva will interact with NGN's contracted suppliers. Ceva will also provide an end-to-end design, implementation and operational solutions in freight management, contract logistics, and distribution and transportation management. Ceva are also currently working with the Future Ways Of Working Team on the development of materials and logistics planning. The existing contract with CEVA has been in place since 2015, throughout this period of time NGN have acquired a sizeable amount of contingency stock relating to Brexit that is currently stored within multiple CEVA locations - should NGN decide to cease this contract at the point of its current expiry there would be no other accommodating place to store the stock. If a 2 year extension with CEVA is approved this will allow for NGN to conduct a fully successful OJEU procurement tender event to award a new contract and also allow time for NGN to gradually reduce the current stockholding down to pre-Brexit levels in a way that mimimises the impact on the supply chain, which NGN anticipate may take some time.
