Recommendations for 2021 and 2022 In 2021, this product will focus on delivering further alignment between all DNO’s and ESO processes and specifically the aspect below: – Alignment of procurement timelines, including with the ESO – In 2020, DNOs consulted stakeholders on the benefits of converging on procurement windows. In 2021, these will be implemented and the group will build on this work to consider alignment with ESO procurement cycles. Where it is not possible to do so, this product will clearly capture the rationale. In 2022, this product will continue its work on the PQQ process and ITT Assessment Criteria outlined below: – Alignment on Prequalification process and requirements - Based on work done in 2020, DNOs are now aligned on the use and timing stages of Pre-Qualification Questionnaires. Building on this work the product will undertake further work to deliver alignment on the prequalification requirements across both T & D and simplify them where possible. – Refine ITT assessment criteria identified in 2020 to make it more inclusive of all technologies (as per feedback from Jul 20 Consultation) and utilise the Common Evaluation Methodology tool (WS1A P1). 9
