## Summary

The Water Services Regulation Authority is conducting a procurement process titled "Gate 1 Assessment Support", aimed at providing consultancy services in the industry of general management. The procurement has reached the Award stage, with contracts awarded to HR Wallingford Limited. The total contract value is £180,000, and the contract period is set from 23 June 2021 to 30 November 2021. The tender process followed an open procedure, and while the tender period ended on 25 May 2021, additional support was requested related to solutions for assessment until November 2021, specifically in the regions of West Midlands and London.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in management consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in solution assessment and recommendations. Businesses that specialise in analytical evaluations and have experience in regulatory frameworks may find this procurement particularly suited to their capabilities. With the contract having been awarded, suppliers in the consultancy sector should keep an eye on future opportunities for similar projects that may arise from the Water Services Regulation Authority or related bodies.

## Notice

We require support for the assessment of solutions for the period from 21 June to 19 November. The majority of work will be related to solutions on the standard track but could also include support for assessment of accelerated gate two solutions. In general, this work will consist of a desk-based assessment of each of the received submissions and appended documentation. It will support the development of RAPID's recommendations and Ofwat's final decisions. Additional information: For further Information, please contact procurement@ofwat.gov.uk
