Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "2026-014 Electricity Pricing Reform Assessment" has been completed by Ofgem, the UK's energy regulator located in London, England. This project sought business and management consultancy services, classified under CPV code 79400000, and related services aimed at quantifying the impacts of alternative electricity pricing arrangements on system costs. With an open procurement method, the contract was valued at £60,000 and awarded to Delta Energy & Environment Limited. The contract, spanning from 9 February 2026 to 31 March 2026, was concluded to address the urgent need for systematic assessment of demand shifts across various geographical regions including the UK, Europe, and other global territories.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in consultancy within energy systems modelling and electricity demand analysis. The focus on pricing reforms allows businesses to contribute innovative solutions that influence domestic electricity demand and broader system costs effectively. SMEs knowledgeable in energy efficiency and management can leverage such contracts as a springboard for expanding services within the burgeoning energy sector. With Ofgem as the prominent buyer, active involvement in such projects can bolster credibility and growth potential in related consultancy fields.

Notice Title

2026-014 Electricity Pricing Reform Assessment

Notice Description

The Cost Allocation and Recovery Review (CARR) is exploring how alternative pricing arrangements could affect consumer outcomes and wider system costs. A key evidence gap is quantifying the relationship between changes in electricity demand (both overall volumes and within-year load shapes) and total system costs across generation and networks. Pricing reform could plausibly shift demand levels through electrification and behavioural response and could also change when electricity is consumed (e.g., peak reduction or load shifting driven by time-varying price signals, including changes associated with electric vehicle (EV) charging and heat pump operation). These changes may have material impacts on investment needs, operational costs and network reinforcement, which are not captured by simple dispatch-only or spreadsheet approaches. Ofgem therefore requires the support of a supplier to provide a system-model which can be used to inform CARR's assessment of these impacts using consistent, internally coherent modelling output. Ofgem will use the support of the supplier and its model to quantify how plausible changes in domestic electricity demand volumes and load shapes, potentially driven by pricing reform, affect total GB electricity system costs across generation and networks. The intention is to capture whole-system impacts (including capacity and network-related effects) beyond short-run dispatch changes alone.
