## Summary

Ofgem commissioned software programming and consultancy services to strengthen its Copilot Agent Centre of Excellence. The work covers structured testing at agent level and through user acceptance testing, a review of stage gates and formal governance ceremonies, and end-to-end monitoring, telemetry and analytics from development and testing into live operation. The supplier is also to define monitoring requirements and setup across Power Platform, security, AI governance and data governance, so that controls are consistent and evidenced throughout the lifecycle. This is a services requirement led by Ofgem, based at 10 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London. Delivery is listed across the United Kingdom, Europe and international locations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Ofgem awarded the contract to Inform Team on 9 July 2026 for £34,797.60 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 9 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 1 January 2026. The opportunity was classified primarily as software programming and consultancy services, with related classifications covering systems and technical consultancy, business analysis, software consultancy, computer support, research and development, and business development consultancy. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. There was a single award and the contract is active.

This award indicates demand from Ofgem for suppliers able to improve governance and assurance around Copilot agents, rather than simply develop software. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in agent-level testing, user acceptance testing, stage-gate design and governance operations, together with the ability to implement monitoring, telemetry and analytics across the full development-to-live lifecycle. Experience spanning Power Platform, security, AI governance and data governance would be relevant, particularly where controls must be consistent and supported by evidence. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist consultancies and delivery teams that can combine technical implementation with business analysis and governance advice.

## Notice

Ofgem has a working Centre of Excellence (CoE) baseline, a defined governance lifecycle, a route-to-live pipeline and a prioritised pipeline of use cases. The objective of this engagement is to have the support of a supplier to help strengthening it in the areas where it is least developed: structured testing at agent level and through User Acceptance Testing (UAT); a reviewed stage-gate structure with formalised governance ceremonies; and end-to-end monitoring, telemetry and analytics from development, through test, into live operation. Alongside this, the supplier will support to break out the monitoring needs and the setup required across each governance domain, such as Power Platform, Security, AI governance and data governance, so that controls are consistent and evidenced across the lifecycle.
