P471 Report Phase Consultation relating to the procurement of BSC Agents
P471 seeks to allow more flexibility in the requirements for procurement of BSC Agents, to allow the option of having these systems operated by the service provider who developed them (at least for the duration of the transition period), while the currently-appointed Supplier Volume Allocation Agent (SVAA) continues to operate legacy processes.
Elexon will hold a webinar on Thursday 27th June to discuss P471 and P472. If you are interested, please sign up via this form

- No BSC Systems Impacted
Documents Impacted

What is proposed?
The proposed solution is to:
- Remove the requirement for BSC Agents to be competitively procured in all circumstances, providing Elexon with the flexibility to take other approaches where appropriate (e.g. in the context of MHHS transition); and
- Provide Elexon with the flexibility to appoint multiple service providers to deliver a single BSC Service Description, without necessarily having to go through the process of reconfiguring the Service Description and consulting parties on the proposed reconfiguration (as currently described by Section E).
