Urgent Modification Consultation for P482: Enable flexible splitting of BSC Agent services and establishing contracts for MHHS Delivery
To support the transition to Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS), Elexon must sign BSC Agent contracts for the operation of new services. This Modification seeks to allow more flexibility in the requirements for procurement of BSC Agents for the SVAA services at MHHS go-live. It will provide the option of having these new MHHS systems operated by the service providers who developed them, while the currently appointed Supplier Volume Allocation Agent (SVAA) continues to operate legacy processes
Status
Who will this impact?
- BSC Agents
- Elexon
What is proposed?
The proposed solution is to remove the requirement for BSC Agents to be competitively procured for the delivery of MHHS only, providing Elexon with the flexibility to take other approaches where appropriate for MHHS. The solution also provides Elexon with the flexibility to appoint multiple service providers to deliver a single BSC Agent service and is not restricted only to MHHS. Also, activities required to coordinate the effective delivery of the services such as; managing an online service desk and incident response, will consequently fall under Elexon’s responsibility.
