Published justification

Northern Gas Networks (NGN) intend to renew their SAP Concur services for a 5 year period. Without this renewal,NGN will lose access to key critical business applications.

Extending provides NGN with security of supply around this critical system. With NGN's current architecture, the optimal approach is to continue using SAP products, as the alternative would be a re-implementation of new technology, need to deploy and integrate a brand new solution and re-train all users, which would be at a significant cost to NGN.
