Digital and Data Capabilities Framework

National Grid Electricity System Operator Limited (NGESO), a legally separate business within the National Grid Group, is the electricity system operator for Great Britain. NGESO moves electricity around the system to keep homes and businesses supplied with the energy they need 24/7. NGESO became a legally separate business from the rest of the National Grid Group in 2019. In summer 2024, NGESO will change its name to National Energy System Operator (NESO) and become owned by the UK government. Where in this notice we refer to NGESO, this should be understood as also including NESO after the change is taken place. The Digital, Data and Technology (DD&T) organisation within NGESO provides the sourcing capabilities, roles and skills required to achieve NGESO digital deliverables. To support the role of the National Energy System Operator (NGESO), we are looking to put in place a digital and data capabilities framework, encompassing the following lots: • Lot 1: All Digital & Data • Lot 2: Data & AI • Lot 3: Security • Lot 4: Engineering and Architecture • Lot 5: Management 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 NGESO sees fit for its PQQ. Codes within this PIN cover all areas, so if interested in any of the lots, please register for the associated codes. The PQQ is targeted to be launched on 3rd April 2024. Interested parties in any of the lots must be fully registered on Achilles and against all Achilles codes associated with the lot they are interested in in order to be able to participate. Please allow yourself sufficient time to complete the registration process prior to the targeted PQQ launch date.
