02/ The brief

What the notice says

Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.

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").
