This tender by Ofgem for a data governance solution tool presents business growth opportunities for companies specializing in industry-specific software packages, compliance software packages, networking software packages, platform interconnectivity software packages, and electronic data management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in this procurement process. Businesses interested in providing data governance solutions for regulatory bodies in the energy sector can leverage their expertise to compete for this opportunity aligning with Ofgem's data management and governance objectives. ## Notice The Gas and Electricity Markets Authority ("Authority") is responsible for regulating the gas and electricity industries in Great Britain. The Authority's powers are largely provided for under the Gas Act 1986, the Electricity Act 1989, the Utilities Act 2000, the Competition Act 1998, the Enterprise Act 2002, the Energy Act 2004 the Energy Act 2008, and the Energy Act 2010. The Office of the Gas and Electricity Markets (OFGEM) supports the Authority. OFGEM's aim is to bring choice and value to all gas and electricity customers by promoting competition and regulating monopolies, and has the following principal objectives: - In relation to Gas - to protect the interests of existing and future consumers in relation to gas conveyed through pipes. - In relation to Electricity - to protect the interests of consumers in relation to electricity conveyed by distribution systems or transmission systems. Those interests of existing and future consumers are their interests taken as a whole, including: their interests in the reduction of gas-supply and electricity-supply emissions of targeted greenhouse gases; and their interests in the security of the supply of electricity and gas to them. General Information Ofgem has built a cloud-based Common Data Platform (CDP) that will underpin the introduction of effective data governance practices using state-of-the-art Microsoft Azure technologies. The CDP, in its present state is not configured to classify the data based on its sensitivity and business value and Ofgem is facing challenges in effectively managing and governing its rapidly growing data assets. This results in data quality issues, compliance risks, and inefficient data utilisation.. This PIN seeks to identify and evaluate different data governance solutions that will align with Ofgem's needs and objectives and to better understand the technology market and the different data governance solutions available. This will allow it to finalise its detailed business case and requirements and perform a procurement exercise to purchase the best solution aligned to Ofgem's need. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/925693af-61f2-4501-bbc0-41e0ef7a9dcf | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 5 Feb 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2024 - 31 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | 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 | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 48100000 - Industry specific software package - 48170000 - Compliance software package - 48210000 - Networking software package - 48211000 - Platform interconnectivity software package - 48613000 - Electronic data management (EDM) ## Release History - 31 Oct 2023 at 17:45 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/925693af-61f2-4501-bbc0-41e0ef7a9dcf ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/925693af-61f2-4501-bbc0-41e0ef7a9dcf 31st October 2023 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT167276 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.
