## Summary

The contracting authority, Ofgem, recently completed an open procurement process to establish the DCC2 price control framework, aimed at enhancing regulatory oversight and ensuring value for money in the monopoly environment. The project falls under financial consultancy services, with additional focus on business analysis and general management consultancy, slated over a period from 24th November 2025 to 30th November 2026. The contract, valued at £210,000, was awarded to Reckon LLP. It covers a broad geographical scope, including the UK, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and other global regions, reflecting Ofgem's broad operational footprint.

This tender presents promising opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in financial, business analysis, and management consultancy services, especially those with expertise in regulatory frameworks and cost control mechanisms. The scope and value of the contract suggest substantial growth prospects for businesses capable of delivering high-value insights and solutions aligned with sector-specific regulatory challenges. Moreover, with the contract accommodating SMEs, it offers a strategic avenue for smaller consultancy firms to expand their influence and gain prestigious experience by collaborating with Ofgem.

## Notice

This Call-Off Contract is intended to support the Authority in the design and implementation of the DCC2 ex-ante price control framework. This includes, without limitation, the development of incentive structures, performance metrics, and governance arrangements during the transitional period. The Supplier shall also provide guidance on managing the concurrent operation of DCC1 and DCC2 controls to prevent financial duplication. In addition, the Contract may encompass a quality assurance or "critical friend" function to challenge major disallowance areas within the current ex-post regime. This work is essential to ensure robust regulatory oversight, equitable cost recovery, and long-term value for money in a monopoly environment.
