Crisis Management Exercise Design for National Power Outage Response

The Met Office seeks a qualified supplier to design, facilitate, and evaluate a comprehensive crisis management exercise testing its National Power Outage Plan. The exercise will assess organizational readiness, validate plan effectiveness, evaluate strategic decision-making and governance structures, and identify improvement opportunities. The supplier will work with key stakeholders to develop exercise objectives and concept, conduct design workshops, create detailed exercise materials and a realistic power outage scenario, facilitate the live exercise with controlled injects, observe and document organizational responses, and deliver findings and recommendations to support organizational improvement. This engagement focuses on internal crisis management, leadership effectiveness, communications protocols, escalation procedures, and business continuity coordination rather than multi-agency operational coordination.
