## About this tender

### Objective

To inform our development of our draft methodology statement, Ofwat requires an independent adviser to provide strategic regulatory advice to our Water 2020 programme that is robust and can withstand scrutiny from the water industry and other stakeholders.

### Scope and Key Tasks

In order to inform development of our draft methodology statement, Ofwat is seeking a call-off arrangement to provide strategic regulatory advice to our Water 2020 programme. This will feed into our Design work stream, and the advice will include a specific focus on:

• The development of targeted price controls to support the development of upstream markets; and

• strategic policy issues relating to the design of upstream markets, development of incentives (such as the risk based review), or the framework for access charges.

The exact requirements will be agreed with the Customer and the Contractor during the course of the Contract. We anticipate a total of 5 to 25 days input over the period of the Contract, although the Customer reserves the right not to commission work under the Contract.

### Outputs and Deliverables

The outputs and deliverables may vary depending on the advice or support required, and may be verbal or written. It may also include the attendance at workshops, meetings and Ofwat's delivery boards.
