## Summary

The Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) has conducted a tender for the position of Principal Policy Support for the Business Retail Market, which involves providing principal-level support to enhance the effectiveness of the business retail market. This procurement is in the award stage, and the tender process was selective, utilizing a call-off from a framework agreement. The total contract value is £48,000, with a contract period spanning from 1st October 2019 to 6th December 2019. TheTender period ended on 5th August 2019, with involvement in regions including West Midlands and London.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in management consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in the business retail market. Companies that can offer analytical skills and insights into market support and policy issues will find themselves well-positioned to compete. As this is a government project, businesses experienced in public sector consultancy and familiar with regulatory environments could particularly benefit from this tender.

## Notice

This role is intended to provide principal level support within the Business retail market team. Whilst we currently expect this role to focus on our review of incumbent company support for the development of an effective business retail market (following Ofwat Chief Executive's letter), there is the possibility that the role will focus on some other element of the business retail market (in discussion and agreement between Ofwat and the successful Contractor). As a result we are looking for transferable skills that could address a variety of different policy issues within the business retail market. We expect you will form a key part of a focussed team assessing the level of incumbent company support for the development of effective markets - focussing primarily on the business retail market. This will involve using analytical techniques to draw insight and conclusions from a wide variety of evidence (both quantitative and qualitative). The project will involve assessing whether the level of support from incumbent companies is sufficient and if not, an assessment of what further action Ofwat should take.
