Ofgem is looking to enhance its analytical work through greater and more structured engagement with the academic community\.

This group will complement the expertise provided through our existing framework contracts\. We are inviting interested parties to tender for a place on this framework\. The work will be on an "as and when required" basis and covers the areas set out at Part A below\.
