This will be part of the phased approach to addressing and detecting miscalculation, gaming and fraud-management in the EBRS scheme. The requirement was identified on 7th October, with a supplier needing to be in place by w/c 17th October to allow sufficient checks to take place. it is not possible to carry out even an accelerated procurement (which can be run theoretically in 15 days) so as to allow any meaningful supplier checks to be carried out in advance of 1st November. The potential for fraud through this contract and the subsequent loss of public money (total fund flowing through this scheme are in the region of PS50bn - PS100bn) is not acceptable and requires that an urgent contract is put in place." }, "awards": [ { "id": "033121-2022-PRO_1065-1", "relatedLots": [ "1" ], "title": "Energy Bill Relief Scheme - Supplier Readiness Checks", "status": "active", "suppliers": [ { "id": "GB-FTS-69077", "name": "PricewaterhouseCooper LLP" } ] } ], "parties": [ { "id": "GB-FTS-69076", "name": "Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy", "identifier": { "legalName": "Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET", "locality": "London", "region": "UK", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "contactPoint": { "name": "Darren Cartwright", "email": "darren.cartwright@beis.gov.uk" }, "roles": [ "buyer" ], "details": { "url": "https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-business-energy-and-industrial-strategy", "buyerProfile": "http://www.gov.uk/beis", "classifications": [ { "scheme": "TED_CA_TYPE", "id": "MINISTRY", "description": "Ministry or any other national or federal authority, including their regional or local subdivisions" }, { "scheme": "COFOG", "id": "01", "description": "General public services" } ] } }, { "id": "GB-FTS-69077", "name": "PricewaterhouseCooper LLP", "identifier": { "legalName": "PricewaterhouseCooper LLP", "id": "OC303525" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "1 Embankment Place, London WC2N 6RH", "locality": "London", "region": "UK", "postalCode": "WC2N 6RH", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "roles": [ "supplier" ], "details": { "scale": "large" } }, { "id": "GB-FTS-61089", "name": "BEIS", "identifier": { "legalName": "BEIS" }, "address": { "locality": "London", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "roles": [ "reviewBody" ] } ], "buyer": { "id": "GB-FTS-69076", "name": "Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy" }, "contracts": [ { "id": "033121-2022-PRO_1065-1", "awardID": "033121-2022-PRO_1065-1", "title": "Energy Bill Relief Scheme - Supplier Readiness Checks", "status": "active", "value": { "amount": 607040, "currency": "GBP" }, "dateSigned": "2022-10-24T00:00:00+01:00" } ], "bids": { "statistics": [ { "id": "1", "measure": "bids", "relatedLot": "1", "value": 1 }, { "id": "2", "measure": "smeBids", "relatedLot": "1", "value": 1 }, { "id": "3", "measure": "foreignBidsFromEU", "relatedLot": "1", "value": 1 }, { "id": "4", "measure": "foreignBidsFromNonEU", "relatedLot": "1", "value": 1 }, { "id": "5", "measure": "electronicBids", "relatedLot": "1", "value": 1 } ] }, "language": "en" }
