## Summary

The procurement process for the "Security of Supply Regulatory Framework Audit" was initiated by Ofgem, the buying organisation. This tender falls under the Energy-efficiency consultancy services category and includes additional classifications for Business analysis consultancy services and Auditing services. The procurement method used was an Open procedure, with a contract value of £300,000 in GBP. The tender period ended on January 1, 2022, and the contract period runs from September 27, 2022, to September 26, 2023. The audit aims to assess the regulatory framework's preparedness for the upcoming winter and its impact on GB's energy security.

This tender by Ofgem presents business growth opportunities for firms specializing in energy consultancy, business analysis, and auditing services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are eligible to compete for this contract. Businesses located in British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom can participate. The successful bidder, Baringa Partners LLP, was awarded a contract worth £150,000, indicating potential for future similar tender opportunities in this sector.

## Notice

This procurement is to ensure the regulatory framework is fit for purpose to ensure GBs energy system is adequately prepared for the coming winter, which we expect to challenge Security of Supply (SoS) arrangements given the unprecedented geopolitical context we are currently operating in (re. gas supply and costs). Security of supply is critical to GB consumers and Ofgem has statutory obligations to ensure SoS is managed effectively.
