National Power Outage Plan Exercise

The Met Office is seeking a suitably qualified supplier to design, facilitate, and report on a crisis management exercise to test its National Power Outage Plan. The exercise will validate the effectiveness of the plan, assess organisational preparedness, test strategic decision-making and governance arrangements, and identify opportunities for improvement. The focus will be on crisis management, leadership, communications, escalation, and business continuity coordination during a prolonged national power outage, rather than a multi-agency operational response. The supplier will be expected to:  Develop a high-level exercise concept and objectives.  Facilitate design workshops with key stakeholders.  Produce a detailed exercise plan and supporting materials.  Develop a realistic national power outage scenario.  Facilitate the exercise and manage injects and exercise control.  Capture observations, decisions, actions, and lessons identified.  Produce reporting to support continuous improvement.
