## Summary

The procurement process involves a tender initiated by the Water Services Regulation Authority for the project titled "Joint Ofwat and Water UK Targeted Review of Common Performance Commitments." This initiative falls under the auditing services category and is based in the West Midlands and London, United Kingdom. The contract was awarded to KPMG LLP on 19 December 2017, with a project value of £160,120, and the contract period running from 20 December 2017 to 30 March 2018. The procurement method employed was selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period concluding on 14 December 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs and consultancy firms specialising in auditing services and management consultancy. Companies capable of addressing aspects related to performance reporting, regulatory compliance, or water service management will find this tender particularly relevant. The outcomes of this review are anticipated to influence critical regulatory and operational decisions that affect the entire water and sewerage sector in England and Wales, potentially leading to substantial financial implications for those involved.

## Notice

The targeted review will: * Explain companies' current approaches to reporting on a number of the common performance commitments. * Highlight any areas where there are inconsistencies in approaches or calculations. * Develop consistent reporting requirements for those common performance commitments currently without them. * Provide more detail to support the consistent reporting requirements for those common performance commitments that currently have them. * Send a strong signal to stakeholders about the sector's collective commitment to common performance commitments that currently have them. It is anticipated that the output of the review will be used to inform business decisions by companies and regulatory decisions by Ofwat. These decisions will directly affect the levels of service provided to all water and sewerage customers in England and Wales and have the potential to have financial impacts in the hundreds of millions PS sterling. There is the potential for these decisions, and the material on which they are based, to be subject to substantial challenge and scrutiny, for example by the Competition and Markets Authority or the Public Accounts Committee. The output of the review must therefore be robust to such challenge and scrutiny. This work will be used by both Ofwat and Water UK. The scope of the work is expected to be limited to the approaches to the following common performance commitments: 1. Leakage 2. Per capita consumption or per household consumption 3. Supply interruptions 4. Internal sewer flooding 5. External sewer flooding 6. Sewer collapses 7. Mains bursts 8. Unplanned outages A review of the scope following publication of the Ofwat PR19 methodology on 13 December 2017 will enable us to clarify which of per capita consumption or per household consumption will form part of the project. It may also result in one or more measures in this provisional list being dropped; it is possible, although less likely, that additional measures could be added. In the event that an adjustment of less or more measures is required, a revised quotation will be required and will be the basis on which the presentation will be based. All costs including expenses are to be shared 50/50 between Ofwat and Water UK.
