P393 ‘Disapplication of Supplier Charge SP01’
Formal title: Disapplication of Supplier Charge SP01
Current Status
Summary
Solution
P393 seeks to set Supplier Charge SP01 to zero in BSC Section S Annex S-1
Background
Currently over 90% of total Supplier Charges are levied against SP01 ‘Delivery of Routine Performance Monitoring Reports’. Supplier Charges are intended to charge Parties where they fail to meet certain performance levels, and redistribute such funds to disadvantaged Parties. However, the non-submission of Performance Assurance Reporting and Monitoring System (PARMS) reports does not directly disadvantage other Parties. Therefore, the application of Supplier Charge SP01 does not clearly align to the objective of Supplier Charges.
