## Summary

Ofgem has completed the procurement process for "Levelisation Audit Support" under the industry category of Auditing Services (CPV code 79212000). This project, valued at GBP 50,000, aims to support the Levelisation process that manages energy standing charges between different customer groups. Key dates include the contract period starting on 21 October 2024 and ending on 31 March 2025. The successful supplier for this open procedure is Forvis Mazars LLP, whose role will be to carry out a review of the Levelisation procedures as agreed with Ofgem.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for auditing firms, particularly those with experience in internal and statutory audits (CPV codes 79212200 and 79212300). Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were considered suitable for this bid, making it an attractive proposition for smaller auditing firms looking to expand their portfolio in the energy sector. The audit's scope, encompassing regions including the United Kingdom and various territories, offers firms significant exposure and potential for further business within other sectors that Ofgem oversees.

## Notice

The Standing Charge Levelisation process is designed to equalise the cost of energy standing charges between prepayment and non-prepayment customers, via a Levelisation Allowance in the Price Cap. It is supported by a supplier reconciliation by difference mechanism to support suppliers' ability to recover efficient costs. Calculations involving the Price Cap are performed by Ofgem. The Retail Energy Code Company (RECCo) are responsible for reconciliation related calculations. Both RECCo and Ofgem have developed jointly owned systems and processes that manage the timing and responsibility for undertaking these calculations. Levelisation has been classed as imputed tax and spend, and the financial flows will be recorded in Ofgem's accounts. Support is therefore required from a supplier to carry out an agreed upon procedures review of Levelisation.
