## Description

Consultancy services to identify, enable and support improvements in applying for and examining NSIP applications\. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;The two overarching outcomes, written in the past tense, that the successful supplier must enable the Inspectorate to achieve are: &gt;&gt;Standardised information in each application enabled the Inspectorate to focus their examination on the project and/or geographically specific issues\. &gt;&gt;Standardised approaches, agreed with relevant stakeholders, optimised the examination process and enabled a proportionate consideration of the information in each application\. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;To achieve this there are, for this project, two stages to our requirement:&gt;&gt; NSIP application information review &gt;&gt;NSIP application information standardisation &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;The specific content and duration of the second stage largely depend on the outcomes of the first stage\. However, if the supplier completing the first stage does so satisfactorily, they would, given the challenging timescales that would enable the Inspectorate to achieve value-for-money, be able to complete the second stage\. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;We intend that this project, for both stages, focus on NSIP applications for offshore wind generated electricity\. This is to support the ambitions of the BESS and the fast track process ambitions of DLUHC\.
