Notice Description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is 01/02/2019 at 14:00. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement A 'Panel of Technical Experts' (PTE) has been in existence since 2013. The PTE originally focussed on a wide range of issues relating to Electricity Market Reform (EMR), but in 2015 the role of the PTE was re-focussed on the Capacity Market and an additional member recruited to reflect the evolving role of the Panel and new expertise required. It remains essential that the analytical development work carried out by National Grid and the decisions relating to the Capacity Market (in particular the volumes of capacity to be procured through the auctions) are subject to independent scrutiny to verify that the work carried out is as transparent, robust and as up-to-date as possible. We are now seeking to reappoint a five-member PTE starting in February 2019, offering each member a three year contract. The membership of the panel will be drawn from both academia and industry covering areas such as electrical engineering, project finance, and economics. This tender is seeking to appoint an Electricity Industry professional expert to sit on the Panel of Technical Experts on a three-year contract to start in February 2019.
