The NGESO moves electricity around the system to keep homes and businesses supplied with the energy they need 24/7. National Grid Electricity System Operator (NGESO) became a legally separate business from the wider National Grid Electricity Transmission (NG) in 2019. NGESO is on a journey to become NESO, a separate legal entity under UK government ownership during Summer 2024. Where in this notice we refer to NESO, this should be understood as also including NGESO before the change is taken place. The Digital, Data and Technology (DD&T) organisation within NESO provides the sourcing capabilities, roles and skills required to achieve NESO digital deliverables. To support the role of the National Energy System Operator (NESO), we will require a digital sourcing framework which enables digital delivery at pace. For this we will require a supply chain that consistently delivers a fit for purpose service, adapting to a constantly evolving NESO organisation with different digital needs. We require a supply chain that delivers knowledge, expertise of modern technology and provides access to innovation, and is able to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other relevant technologies into existing systems. We are looking for partners who are skilled in modern engineering practices such as DevSecOps, CI/CD, Automation and who are capable of continuously implementing technology transformation. NESO requires access to digital skills and programme support in a flexible way to achieve objectives under its Business Plan plus Digitalisation Strategy, whilst building relationships with suppliers who can partner in developing strategic direction, and implementing and transferring knowledge, as well as leveraging frontier technology. The scope of the framework will comprise digital consultancy services and digital implementation services. Our current thinking is that these will include the following components, but this may be subject to change before PQQ is issued: - Lot 1All Digital & Data - Lot 2Data & AI - Lot 3Security - Lot 4Engineering The lotting structure will be designed to suit a holistic or a more specialised approach to facilitate large companies and niche suppliers having places on the framework. These lots will be structured as NESO sees fit for its PQQ. Codes within this PIN cover all areas, so if interested please register for the codes associated with services and capabilities you can and want to provide.
