## Summary

Ofgem is seeking an external provider to carry out a comprehensive market study of Great Britain’s wholesale electricity generation sector and produce an updated assessment of market outcomes. This is research and consultancy work, combining market and economic analysis with the interpretation of outcomes across the electricity generation sector. The work is for Great Britain. The opportunity is relevant to consultancies, economic researchers and energy-sector specialists able to assess wholesale generation markets and provide evidence-based analysis for a public authority.

Ofgem invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement has reached the tender stage. The single lot was evaluated on technical quality, weighted at 70%, and commercial price, weighted at 30%. Enquiries were due by 19 October 2026 at 12 noon; offers were due by 26 October 2026 at 12 noon. The contract period was set from 30 November 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option to extend for up to four months, subject to mutual agreement on any additional deliverables and with no guaranteed extension value. The estimated value is £416,667 excluding VAT (£500,000 including VAT). The buyer set an award decision date of 17 November 2026.

This single-lot opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It is best suited to providers with the analytical capability to conduct a comprehensive study of the Great Britain wholesale electricity generation sector and assess market outcomes. Relevant experience in energy markets, economic research and evidence-based consultancy would be useful to delivering the stated work. The contract calls for an updated assessment rather than a general research exercise, so suppliers should be able to connect sector analysis to market outcomes and present findings clearly. Technical quality carries more weight than price in evaluation, making a strong proposed approach and demonstrable research capability particularly important. Economic and technical selection criteria apply; their detailed requirements are set out in the tender documents.
