## Description

Ofgem is required to run a tender exercise for all offshore transmission \(OFTO\) projects that qualify under the OFTO Tender Regulations 2015\. The next offshore tender round - Tender Round 13 \(TR13\) - Ofgem is launching in September 2025\. Provision of professional technical advice will be crucial to ensuring that a robust tender process takes place for TR13 and without this, Ofgem will be unable to run an effective tender process for this tender round\. To facilitate a robust tender evaluation process, Ofgem requires the services of the supplier on various aspects of the tender and transaction process\. The supplier will provide technical advice on the bid evaluation process and advise on the transaction process \(as necessary\) once Ofgem has appointed the preferred bidder\. Ofgem has identified specific activities that the supplier will be advising on during this process: \* Enhanced Pre-Qualification \(EPQ\) and Invitation to Tender \(ITT\) stages \* Preferred Bidder to Licence Grant Stage \(Transaction Stage\) \* Virtual Data Room \(VDR\) Milestone Completeness Reviews
