Digital and Data Capabilities Framework

The tender was completed under the new NESO entity with Public procurement organisation number (PPON) PHQL-5234-MWWV National Grid Electricity System Operator Limited (NGESO), a legally separate business within the National Grid Group, is the electricity system operator for Great Britain. NGESO moves electricity around the system to keep homes and businesses supplied with the energy they need 24/7.

NGESO became a legally separate business from the rest of the National Grid Group in 2019. In summer 2024, NGESO will change its name to National Energy System Operator (NESO) and become owned by the UK government. Where in this notice we refer to NGESO, this should be understood as also including NESO after the change is taken place.

The Digital, Data and Technology (DD&T) organisation within NGESO provides the sourcing capabilities, roles and skills required to achieve NGESO digital deliverables.

• Lot 1: All Digital & Data
• Lot 2: Data & AI
