Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Ofgem, the regulatory authority for the electricity and gas markets in Great Britain, seeking to appoint an Independent Academic Advisor to assist in developing their RIIO-GD2 cost assessment methodology. This tender, titled "Independent Academic Advisor for RIIO-GD2", falls under the services category, specifically within economic impact assessment and energy-related services. The procurement method is an open procedure, with submissions due by 26 October 2018. The contract is anticipated to commence on 9 November 2018 and continue until 29 March 2019, with an estimated value of £10,000.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in economic assessment, energy consultancy, and financial advisory services to secure a contract with a significant regulatory body. Companies with robust capabilities in econometrics, benchmarking, and technical training are particularly well-suited to compete. The relatively short duration of the contract and the open procurement method encourage small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate, potentially leading to future engagements in energy cost management and regulatory compliance.
