## Summary

The Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) is inviting tenders for the role of Senior Associate Policy Support for PR19 Outcomes, a position focused on reviewing and analysing submissions related to the PR19 outcomes workstream. The procurement process, classified under general management consultancy services, is currently in the Award stage, with a completed contract awarded to PA Consulting Services Limited valued at £63,750. The contract commenced on 11 March 2019 and will last until 31 May 2019. The work will be based in Birmingham and London, with the tender submission period having concluded on 12 February 2019.

This contract represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in management consultancy services to expand their operations, particularly those with expertise in regulatory frameworks and policy analysis within the water sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those with transferable skills suitable for various policy areas, may find this project aligns well with their capabilities, enabling them to leverage their insights to compete effectively for future contracts.

## Notice

This role is intended to provide senior associate-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.
