## Summary

The Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) is seeking a contractor for the role of Principal Policy Support for PR19 Outcomes, focusing on bespoke performance commitments (PCs) and outcome delivery incentives (ODIs). This procurement, classified under general management consultancy services, is currently in the Award stage, with the contract valued at £85,680. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 4 March 2019 and conclude on 31 May 2019. The tender was open until 12 February 2019, and delivery addresses for the work include regions in West Midlands and London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms with expertise in regulatory policy and analysis, particularly those that can demonstrate transferable skills across various policy areas. Businesses specialising in management consulting, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), may find this contract aligns well with their capabilities, offering a chance to engage with Ofwat during a crucial phase of the price review process. Success in this tender could enhance a firm's portfolio and establish a foothold in public sector projects.

## Notice

This role is intended to provide principal-level support within the PR19 Outcomes workstream - for more information on our approach to Outcomes for PR19, please see the PR19 final methodology and the results of the initial assessment of plans, including the technical appendix on outcomes. Whilst we currently expect this role to focus on our review of bespoke PCs and ODIs, due to the nature of the price review and Ofwat's need to be responsive and flexible in reaction to the exact content of companies' business plan submissions, there is the potential for this role to focus on another aspect of outcomes or even be allocated to another workstream within the PR19 programme (in discussion and agreement between Ofwat and the successful contractor). As a result we are looking for transferable skills that could suit multiple policy areas across the price review Following publication of our IAP decisions on 31 January 2019, we will move into the next phase of the price review, working towards draft determinations. You will be part of the team responsible for contributing to these draft determinations. Key roles will include analysing company submissions (including revised business plans submitted in April 2019 by companies whose plans are classified as slow-track or significant scrutiny), presenting findings to colleagues, and potentially taking a lead advising on strategically significant policy issues. Additional information: For Further Information,please contact procurement@ofwat.gov.uk
