Lot Information
Lot 1
This work is required as part of Ofgem's commitment to reduce fraud and error on its environmental schemes. This will require the supplier to undertake technical site audits of both prospective and accredited installations under the above-mentioned schemes as part of the audit programme. The audit programmes are designed to reduce the risk of non-compliance; thus, ensuring the schemes provide value for money for UK taxpayers. Ofgem's Requirements for Services to be provided for technical audits of generators and installations for the following Schemes: * Non-Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (NDRHI) * Green Gas Support Scheme (GGSS) The overarching requirements of the audit site visit, regardless of Scheme, include the supplier's auditors to: *Check the accuracy of data provided to Ofgem. This includes data provided in any reports; *Securing assurance of compliance with Ofgem's published guidance and with any procedures or Scheme that Ofgem may have agreed with the participant; *Detecting non-compliance and fraud, either on the part of the Auditee or those parties with whom they have a contract for delivering their obligations; and *Detecting departures from good practice that have resulted, or that may result in the incorrect supply of information to Ofgem. The supplier will be expected to have a full understanding of the NDRHI and GGSS requirements and expect that they can apply their mechanical services expertise during site visits to understand when installations or participants are not complying with the relevant legislation. The supplier is also expected to have a full understanding of the applicable eligibility criteria that Ofgem apply for each installation concerning both general and specific technology type eligibility checks. This ensures that the installation has been accurately represented during application. Ofgem expects the auditors should also be familiar with Ofgem's published guidance for the above schemes. On this basis, they should be able to highlight to Ofgem when applicants or operators are not complying with the guidance and/or legislation
Renewal: It is anticipated the contract will be in place for up to 2 years with the option to extend for up to 2 x 12 month periods.
