Summary of the contracting process

Ofgem procured consultancy and technical support to improve access to corporate knowledge and efficiency across its Delivery and Schemes function. The requirement was to design and deliver five production-ready Microsoft Copilot Agents aligned with Ofgem’s priority use cases, ensuring that each agent met the organisation’s governance and production-readiness standards. The work falls within business analysis, systems and technical consultancy, computer support, development consultancy, and related business and management consultancy. Ofgem is the buying organisation, based at 10 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London. Delivery was framed across the United Kingdom and internationally, including the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world.

This completed procurement used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 1 January 2026, and the contract was awarded on 29 June 2026. Inform Team was selected as supplier for £106,112. The contract period runs from 29 June 2026 to 30 November 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the open competition for services, with the scope and stated consultancy categories defining the subject of the procurement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and the tender status is complete, indicating that supplier selection has taken place and the contracted delivery period has been established.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need practical experience of designing and delivering production-ready Microsoft Copilot Agents, rather than only providing general software advice. Relevant capability includes translating directorate use cases into useful corporate-knowledge tools, configuring or developing multiple agents as a coherent delivery, and supporting them through governance, assurance and production-readiness controls. Suppliers should be able to combine business analysis with systems and technical consultancy, development, computer support, and business-process understanding. The scale demonstrates a defined multi-agent delivery with a short implementation window, so evidence of structured delivery, reliable technical support and the capacity to move several priority use cases into production would be important.
