Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "2025-106 RE Knowledge Bank" was undertaken by Ofgem, the regulator for gas and electricity markets in the UK. This project focused on improving how Ofgem's compliance team handles queries related to the Renewables Obligation and Feed-In Tariffs schemes by creating a knowledge bank. Classified under "Software consultancy services," the contract was awarded on 19th December 2025 to Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP (PwC) through an open procurement method. Spanning several locations including the UK, Europe, and beyond, the contract period runs from 5th January 2026 to 30th April 2026, with a total value of £90,000 GBP. The procurement is completed, and the award notice was published on 5th January 2026.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in software consultancy and business development services. Firms adept in creating digital platforms and managing backend systems would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) might find this type of tender accessible, given the open procurement process. Businesses with expertise in creating efficient digital solutions for handling complex query systems could greatly benefit, as such projects align with the industry's increasing shift towards digital efficiency and streamlined operations. Ofgem's selection of a major consultancy firm like PwC underscores the importance of proficiency and reliability in this domain.

Notice Information

Notice Title

2025-106 RE Knowledge Bank

Notice Description

Ofgem's compliance team manages a high volume of queries relating to two schemes, the Renewables Obligation ("RO") scheme and the Feed-In Tariffs ("FIT") scheme. Currently, Ofgem staff manage these queries across several different systems, including a shared inbox, a Microsoft SharePoint site and the Central FIT Register (an online portal that allows communication with suppliers). Ofgem would like to improve the efficiency of the query process by creating a 'library' of common queries with links to external guidance and previous responses that the compliance team can consult, rather than immediately reaching out to subject matter experts. This should be in the form of a single page Power App (web platform) that displays the queries in simple tabular format. The data will need to be stored in a back-end system that can only be managed by a system administrator (i.e. cannot be added, edit or deleted by a normal user in the Power App's front end). Support from a supplier is required to do so.
