## Summary

The public procurement process, titled "Project Nightingale," involved Ofgem as the buying organisation. This initiative falls under the industry category of financial consultancy services and aims to investigate options for reducing wholesale prices of gas and electricity during a significant crisis impacting homes and businesses. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, with the contract period running from 21 March 2022 to 6 April 2022, and the tender period ended on 1 January 2022.

This contract presents valuable opportunities for businesses focusing on financial and business analysis consultancy services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Firms specialising in energy management, financial advisory, and related consultancy sectors could find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar contracts, as they could leverage their expertise to assist in the ongoing efforts to alleviate pressures in the energy market.

## Notice

The scope of work consists primarily of appraising 4 different options for bringing down wholesale prices for gas and electricity to address extreme pressures facing homes and businesses. These options need to be thoroughly investigated to assess their feasibility (impact, costs, risks, legal, and timing), to determine whether these are options to pursue to minimise impact of ongoing crisis.
