## Description

WRMPs will be released for public consultation in January 2018 for English companies and March 2018 for Welsh companies\. We will need to provide our responses within the 12 week statutory timeline\. This work will consist of a desk based review of each companies draft WRMP and supporting documentation to support the development of Ofwat's response to the statutory consultation\. The Contractor will have access to our findings from pre-consultation to help prioritise resources\. The review will be carried out using a proportionate and risk based approach\. We expect this to take the form of a layer assessment process, with core questions - common across all companies, but with additional layers for medium and high risk companies\. Our initial view is that we expect: • 3-6 WRMPs to be high risk; • 3-6 WRMPs to be medium risk; and • The rest to be low risk \(including WRMPs for new appointees \(NAVs\)\) We expect the tenders received to reflect these estimates but Contractors should include how they would revise their approach to a company's draft WRMP as the review progressed\. Key Tasks for the Contractor: Start-up meeting Ongoing meetings Designing the assessment approach Analysis of draft WRMPs Training and debriefing session
