## Summary

Ofgem procured a subscription licence for S&P Global PRA (Platts) Wholesale Price Assessments. The service gives its Markets team access to independent wholesale energy and commodity price benchmarks, expert market analysis and commentary, and information used to monitor market trends, assess pricing and support price control work. The requirement has particular relevance to gas and liquefied natural gas markets. It is a market intelligence, statistical information and subscription service requirement, classified under market research services, statistical services and subscription services. Delivery is for Ofgem’s operations in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based at 10 South Colonnade, London E14 4PU. The procurement covered one complete requirement rather than separate service areas.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to S&P DOW JONES INDICES LIMITED. Ofgem used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 5 December 2025 and runs from 7 December 2025 to 6 December 2027. Its value is USD 47,164.27 excluding gross charges, or USD 56,597.12 including them. Ofgem may extend the term by two further periods of up to 12 months each, with the possible extended term ending on 5 December 2029. The contract is active. The supplier is a large organisation, and the award covers the complete subscription requirement. The outcome reflects a single supplier and a single lot.

This award indicates demand from Ofgem for specialist, authoritative wholesale energy and commodity market intelligence rather than a general research service. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need established proprietary price assessments or equivalent independent benchmarks, particularly for gas and LNG markets, supported by reliable statistical data, market analysis and expert commentary. They would also need to provide a robust subscription licence that permits professional use by a public-sector Markets team supporting price control, pricing assessment and market monitoring. Credibility would depend on the breadth, independence and reliability of the underlying data, as well as the supplier’s ability to maintain consistent access and useful interpretation over a sustained service period. Experience serving regulated energy markets would be directly relevant.
