Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for Reformed National Pricing (RNP) Codes and Licences was spearheaded by DESNZ & DSIT Group Commercial, a central purchasing body based in London, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically Energy and related services, targeting the UK region. The tender was classified as complete, with the award decision made on 12th December 2025. An award procedure without prior publication was used, leveraging a mini-competition from the ENZPS Framework owned by DESNZ, focusing on oil, gas, and electricity. Although the lot's status was ultimately cancelled, the process was designed to provide external consultancy for the review of electricity market arrangements and code amendments.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses with expertise in energy consultancy and code amendments to grow by offering insights into the complex codes impacted by RNP reforms. Firms like RRL Group Limited, which was awarded the contract, demonstrate the need for large-scale enterprises capable of handling intricate regulatory scenarios. Companies involved in energy markets, especially those familiar with legislation and market operations, would be well-suited to compete in this sphere. It opens avenues for collaboration within the framework's competitive procedures, promoting growth through specialised consultancy services for the benefit of consumers and security of the electricity supply.

Notice Title

Reformed National Pricing (RNP) Codes and Licences

Notice Description

External energy related consultancy services

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Review of Electricity Market Arrangements (REMA) was launched in 2022 to ensure that Great Britain's electricity markets are fit for purpose to 2030 and beyond, to unlock the full potential of low carbon technologies for the benefit of consumers, reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, and enhance security of supply. Having carefully considered major changes to the wholesale electricity market, i.e. a move to zonal or reformed national pricing, changes to dispatch, and/or changes to network access, it has been decided that Great Britain will retain a single national wholesale market pricing regime. We anticipate a significant number of codes and licences that would be impacted by RNP reforms. The codes in particular are lengthy, and complex. As such, we require commercial expertise from professionals who work in applying these codes to provide insights into the scale of code amendments required, and how reforms to codes influence real-world scenarios.
