The Data Sharing Infrastructure (DSI) is a socio-technical solution that makes it easier for the energy sector to share data and models in a scalable, secure, and resilient way by bringing together common processes, governance, and technology. NESO has been appointed as the Interim DSI Coordinator for this activity.
This is a contract award specifically for Phase 2 of the programme. Phase 2 of the activity will involve the public launch of DSI which will require further development of the governance process and the legal terms and conditions for participation.
The services for Phase 2 will be based on hourly rates, capped at £540,000 (excl VAT) or £648,000 (incl VAT) unless there is a scope change.
