## Summary

The Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) is seeking to procure services through a selective tender for the role of Principal Policy Support for PR19 Outcomes. This contract, aimed at providing consultancy in management services, has an awarded value of £84,150. The contract period runs from 5th March 2019 to 31st May 2019, with the tender period having ended on 12th February 2019. The locations specified for delivery include regions in the West Midlands and London, United Kingdom.

This opportunity is conducive to businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), that excel in management consultancy services and possess the agility to adapt to various policy areas. Companies with expertise in reviewing business plans, policy analysis, and responding to dynamic regulatory frameworks would find this tender particularly relevant. As Ofwat engages contractors to help advance their PR19 programme, there is potential for sustained engagement and growth for successful bidders in the public procurement landscape.

## Notice

This role is intended to provide principal-level support within the PR19 Outcomes workstream - for more information on our approach to Outcomes for PR19, please see the PR19 final methodology and the results of the initial assessment of plans, including the technical appendix on outcomes. Whilst we currently expect this role to focus on our review of common PCs and ODIs, due to the nature of the price review and Ofwat's need to be responsive and flexible in reaction to the exact content of companies' business plan submissions, there is the potential for this role to focus on another aspect of outcomes or even be allocated to another workstream within the PR19 programme (in discussion and agreement between Ofwat and the successful contractor). As a result we are looking for transferable skills that could suit multiple policy areas across the price review. Following publication of our IAP decisions on 31 January 2019, we will move into the next phase of the price review, working towards draft determinations. You will be part of the team responsible for contributing to these draft determinations. Key roles will include analysing company submissions (including revised business plans submitted in April 2019 by companies whose plans are classified as slow-track or significant scrutiny), presenting findings to colleagues, and potentially taking a lead advising on strategically significant policy issues.
