The process occurs in London, England, with an open procurement method. The contract period starts on August 29, 2022, and ends on May 31, 2023. The tender deadline was July 8, 2022. This tender by Ofgem presents opportunities for businesses specialising in technical analysis, general management consultancy, and research consultancy services to contribute to the reform of energy institutions and governance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, aiming to collaborate on reshaping existing institutions or establishing new ones for effective delivery of energy system functions towards a cost-effective net zero outcome. ## Notice The purpose of the Distribution System Operation (DSO) Governance review is to establish the changes needed to institutions and governance arrangements in order to deliver the energy system functions Ofgem consider are needed at a sub-national level to facilitate a timely and cost-effective net zero. This builds on our joint commitment with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to ensure that institutional arrangements governing the energy system are fit for purpose for the long term. Ofgem recently launched the review with a call for input, setting out and seeking evidence and views from stakeholders on the suitability of current and planned institutional and governance arrangements in place for delivery of energy system functions (energy system planning, real-time operation of local energy networks and market facilitation of flexible resources) and potential alternative arrangements. To facilitate input from stakeholders on the case for change and potential reform options, Ofgem included in the call for input sample framework models for alternative arrangements. These sample models range from relatively small changes such as governance reforms within existing institutions to drive effective delivery of energy system functions, to more significant reforms including reshaping the roles of existing institutions or setting up new institutions. Our next step is to compile perspectives and evidence on the case for change and further develop reform options through broad stakeholder engagement. Over the second half of this year, the focus will be on evaluating reform options, aiming to publicly set out conclusions by early 2023. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c67f5a88-2501-4926-a981-f275fadd99f0 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | 8 Jul 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 28 Aug 2022 | | Contract period | 28 Aug 2022 - 31 May 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £170,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £170,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OFGEM | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E14 4PU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI42 Tower Hamlets | | Local authority | Tower Hamlets | | Electoral ward | Canary Wharf | | Westminster constituency | Poplar and Limehouse | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CEPA | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71314300 - Energy-efficiency consultancy services - 71621000 - Technical analysis or consultancy services - 73110000 - Research services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 79411000 - General management consultancy services ## Release History - 1 Sep 2022 at 16:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c67f5a88-2501-4926-a981-f275fadd99f0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c67f5a88-2501-4926-a981-f275fadd99f0 1st September 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP165038 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.ofgem.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
