Consultancy Support for Water Division
Commission for Energy Regulation
The Commission for Energy Regulation (the CER) is the independent body responsible for overseeing the liberalisation of Ireland's energy sector.
The Water Services Act, 2013 and the Water Services Act, 2014 expanded the remit of the CER to include functions relating to the economic regulation of the public water sector.
Section 22 of the Water Services (No. 2) Act 2013 states that the CER may, having regard to certain matters including the costs likely to be incurred by Uisce รireann (Uร), approve a water charges plan. The plan, which is developed by and submitted to the CER by Uร, specifies matters including charges to customers and costs likely to be incurred by Uร.
The CER has previously determined an interim revenue control for the period from 1.10.2014 to 31.12.2016. The CER is of the view that the next revenue control for Uร should be for a period of 2 years.
The CER intends to engage consultancy support to provide technical, economic and financial advice in regard to the next revenue control for Uisce รireann, which is expected to apply from 1.1.2017 to 31.12.2018. The consultancy support will also provide other advice outside of the revenue control.
The support required is broken down into the following 3 Lots:
Lot 1 โ Technical and Economic Consultancy Support for Uisce รireann Price Control (2017-2018);
Lot 2 โ Financial Consultancy Support for Uisce รireann Price Control (2017-2018);
Lot 3 โ General Policy Advice.
Tenderers may bid for Lot 1, Lot 2 or Lot 3 or any combination of Lots.
