## Summary

Ofgem, the UK's energy regulator, has concluded a procurement process titled "2026-005- Development and App Creation," aimed at supporting the Bill Discount Scheme (BDS), integral to the government's Net Zero Plans. This procurement, classified under the industry category of "Computer support and consultancy services," involved developing a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) proof of concept for efficient property eligibility searches. The tender utilised an open procurement method through an open procedure, with a contract period spanning from 2nd March to 30th April 2026. The awarded contract, valued at £45,600, was announced on 7th April 2026, with ESRI (UK) Limited selected as the supplier. The procurement process, marked complete at the award stage, highlights key delivery addresses across the UK and international territories.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in computer support, consultancy services, and software development, particularly those with expertise in Geographic Information Systems and database integrations. Companies experienced in the delivery of industry-specific software packages or those providing information system solutions are well-positioned to benefit. The open procurement method employed by Ofgem underscores its commitment to inclusivity, suggesting that SMEs could find this an attractive prospect. Given the emphasis on technological innovation and environmental objectives, this tender is appealing for firms aligned with sustainable business and supporting the UK's energy transition goals.

## Notice

The Bill Discount Scheme (BDS) is a new scheme that Ofgem has been asked to be the Scheme Administrator of. BDS is a crucial component of the Governments Net Zero Plans, helping play a role in ensuring new electrical infrastructure can be rolled out faster by financially rewarding communities who host this infrastructure. Ofgem needs support from a supplier to build a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Proof of concept/sandpit to test the functionality of being able to do an automatic radius search for eligible properties, and matching to an MPAN Database, as the alternative/paper route/non-digital would be non-economical from either a time, resource or cost perspective.
