Tender description

In a rapidly evolving energy landscape, it is essential for Ofgem to stay at the forefront of industry discourse and knowledge-sharing. Therefore, the team would like to create an Ofgem-branded podcast, which will provide an avenue for Ofgem to engage with a broader audience, including industry experts, identified thought leaders, policy makers and the public. Ofgem would like the format to closely resemble the highly acclaimed "The Enquiry" by BBC world service, offering in depth analysis, investigative reporting and expert insights - though the team are open to discussion with the successful tenderer on this setup. The initial podcast series should consist of a minimum of eight episodes with each episode lasting for approximately 30 to 40 minutes. A 2nd series may be commissioned depending on the success of the first.

About the buyer

Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem) is Britain's energy regulator, a non-ministerial government department. Tenders appear on Ofgem's own tendering portal, alongside Contracts Finder and the Find a Tender Service. Most goods and services are bought through Crown Commercial Service frameworks, chiefly its Energy and Economic Services and Advice agreement. Ofgem then runs a further competition or awards work directly to a supplier on the relevant lot. Lots span gas and electricity engineering, distributed energy resources, and economic and financial advice. Smaller businesses are encouraged to bid, with technical ability weighed alongside value for money.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of Ofgem's contract awards have been in business services, software and information systems, and IT services.
