## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is currently pursuing a tender titled "Economic Regulation: Analytical Study," aimed at conducting an analysis of economic regulators' duties in the telecoms, energy, and water sectors. This initiative is part of the National Infrastructure Strategy, with a deadline for tender submissions set for 26th January 2022. The contract, valued at £100,000, is classified under research and development services and related consultancy services, with the contract period expected to commence on 31st January 2022 and conclude on 31st March 2022. Interested parties must register with the CCS Research Marketplace framework to participate in the tendering process.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in regulatory analysis and consultancy services. Companies that specialise in market research, economic analysis, or public policy could particularly benefit from this contract. By engaging in this tender, successful bidders will not only contribute to shaping economic regulation but also position themselves as key players in future government consultancy contracts.

## Notice

The National Infrastructure Strategy committed government to producing an overarching policy paper on economic regulation. A key part of the policy paper will concern the government conducting a review of economic regulator's duties in 2022. To inform this review, we need to commission an analytical study into regulators' duties in telecoms, energy and water. The study will assess how well regulators have been meeting their existing duties, the effectiveness of existing duties, what impact has resulted from new duties being introduced, and recommend areas the government review should focus on. BEIS intends using the CCS Research Market place framework agreement for this opportunity and so if you're not registered on this framework please follow the link https://www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/agreements/RM6018, do allow for up to 3 weeks for registration. The ITT will be issued in early January 2022.
