Key information
Overview
Ofcom are keen to engage with suitably experienced suppliers capable of delivering a 'Skilled Persons' service. The Skilled Persons' report powers under the Online Safety Act are new powers for Ofcom. This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise seeks feedback from the market and particularly from experienced experts who specialise in any of the identified Work Areas (detailed in the PME document), through responses to the PME Questionnaire . We are keen to engage to better understand the market in relation to: • the work areas and how they are grouped; • the different contracting models; • the different payment mechanisms; and • how to cost for the services of a Skilled Persons' report. The PME document can be found on Ofcom's eSourcing portal. Please see 'Engagement process description' below.
Estimated value: 2,000,000 GBP including VAT

The purpose of this preliminary market engagement (PME) questionnaire is to seek input from market participants to inform and help us inform our procurement strategy. The PME will provide Ofcom with the opportunity to obtain insight into how potential Suppliers might approach delivery of the service in question and gain an understanding of the capability/interest from the market. This PME will be in the form of a questionnaire, and possibly some discussion between the Ofcom Project Team and interested Suppliers. If you would like to participate in the PME exercise, please access the PME document available via Ofcom's Jaggaer procurement portal at https://ofcom.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/.
