2025-100 Legal Advice for DCC Handover
This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
This sits in the upper-middle of the Business Services band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 57,319 valued Business Services tenders in our corpus.
The Data Communication Company or Smart DCC Ltd ("DCC1") is the current holder of the Smart Meter Communication Licence ("SMC Licence").
DCC1 is the central communications body licensed to provide the communications, data transfer and management required to support smart metering in the United Kingdom.
It is responsible for linking smart meters in homes and small business with the systems of energy suppliers, network operators and other companies.
Ofgem therefore requires support from a law firm, to provide commercial law advisory support to assist in structuring the arrangements that underpin the handover of the SMC Licence to DCC2 (the "Handover Workstream").
