    Brief

    Ofgem is seeking a supplier to conduct comprehensive analysis to support the implementation of a new Dedicated Network Service (DPNS) licence framework. The work will examine current and future market conditions, system operability requirements, and various regulatory implementation options to determine whether de minimis thresholds or other proportionality mechanisms should apply. The supplier must assess a full range of options for three in-scope services: reactive power (absorption and injection), inertia (natural and synthetic), and short-circuit level. This analysis should include clear recommendations on setting de minimis threshold values for each service individually and for providers offering multiple services, considering technical characteristics, asset location relevance, and provider types. Recommendations must balance Ofgem's key objectives: proportional regulatory oversight, fair competition between all providers, facilitation of market growth and innovation, and clarity of roles and responsibilities.
