## Description

To assist Ofgem in vetting shipper applications, including interviewing shippers to ensure they are set up in a way that provides assurance to the Authority that they can properly run their business, Ofgem require a successful tenderer with deep and varied experience of being a shipper to be able to properly question shippers and provide baselines as to what expected 'good' answers would be\. Ofgem will also require the successful tenderer to specifically look for Question and Answers time to ask questions about the market/how to conduct and interview/how to assess responses/what red flags to look out for\. At this time, Ofgem does not have this expertise in-house\. The need is very urgent due to the pipeline of applications and if decisions are not made in a set time period, they are automatically granted\.
