2025-087- Financial Advisors to OFTO team for Tender and Policy
Description
Ofgem is looking to procure the necessary financial advisers for the Offshore Transmission Owners (OFTO) team to continue its regulatory duties. Provision of these services will be crucial and without this, Ofgem will be unable to run effective tender processes for the upcoming tender rounds.
The successful supplier will be required to provide specialist financial support to review Ofgem's tender process in evaluating bidders.
This will include:
Providing advice on the Information Memoranda, guidance documents, evaluation methodology documents, and any further documents
as required. This may include helping to implement changes to the EPQ process and documentation if required.
Undertaking comparative bid evaluation of the technical sections only at the EPQ Stage and the ITT Stage. The appointed financial advisor shall fulfil the role of Lead Evaluator and shall act as a single point of contact for these stages, by coordinating the technical
and insurance advisorsโ evaluation work and bringing together their respective evaluation reports.
Assessing bid submissions against the existing scoring methodologies and evaluation criteria and providing an overview of the robustness and cost effectiveness of technical aspects of each bid submission.
Further details can be found in the attached tender document.
Furthermore, Ofgem plans to publish additional OFTOโrelated procurement opportunities in the near future, specifically covering the appointment of Technical Advisors and Cost Assessment Advisors which will be released under separate contract notices.
