## Summary

The award has been granted to Coforge Uk Limited by Ofgem for the "ESO Cost Monitoring Framework Phase 2" project. Ofgem, based in London, England, issued a tender with a value of £140,000 under the classification of business analysis consultancy services. The procurement method was an open procedure, with a tender period ending on January 1, 2024, and a contract period from April 17, 2024, to September 13, 2024. The opportunity is aimed at assessing the ESO's IT portfolio against modern best practices and suggesting improvements to enhance delivery.

This procurement process managed by Ofgem offers an opportunity for business growth, especially for consultancy and management services firms with expertise in business development. The project focuses on analysing the IT portfolio of the Electricity System Operator to support Ofgem's oversight. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to engage in this tender, which falls under the main procurement category of services. Interested parties should consider Ofgem's requirements and the unique challenges posed by the RIIO-2 price control framework.

## Notice

As part of the RIIO-2 price control, the Electricity System Operator (ESO) will submit updates on their IT portfolio as part of the Cost Monitoring Framework (CMF). By summer 2024, Ofgem has committed to rating the ESOs IT progress against their Business Plan. Support is required from a Supplier to assess the ESOs IT portfolio using the Cost Monitoring Framework created by the ESO regulation team at Ofgem. This assessment will inform Ofgem's assessment of the ESO's performance under the RIIO-2 price control. The output of this assessment is an independent report, consisting of: a) a holistic assessment of the ESO's IT portfolio against modern day best practice, and against each individual investment within this portfolio using the methodology outlined in the Cost Monitoring Framework. b) suggestions on how the ESO can improve the delivery of their IT. c)Further to this report, Ofgem will require the supplier to continue its support on the ongoing aspects of the Cost Monitoring Framework.
