Description

The core objective is to support the mobilisation of RAPID by a) designing the scope of work of RAPID, its ways of working and how it is governed. The Supplier will reflect these in associated documents (such as MOUs, Terms of Reference and an indicative high level 5 year work plan for RAPID) and establish the associated structures for oversight and stakeholder engagement; b) identifying and addressing the immediate analytical and planning priorities to enable RAPID to begin to operate as soon as possible within Q1 or no later than the beginning of Q2 2019/20; c) building capability, knowledge and insight during the remainder of 2019, including through working with the PR19 programme within Ofwat as final price control determinations are settled; d) engagement with joint projects / National Framework and recruitment of experienced resources. We expect this role to involve approximately 3 days a week over the term of the contract, flexing this resource as required.

This will include:
• Further work on the barriers and constraints to regional schemes and how they might be addressed to inform any MOU or Terms of Reference and identify the types of projects most suited to being considered as part of RAPID's remit;
• Engaging with the National Framework, regional groups and joint projects to inform the above;
• Considering the oversight arrangements for RAPID in terms of senior stakeholder oversight and steering RAPID's work (with policy decisions resting with the constituent regulators/government, as appropriate);
• Preparing for recruitment and related administrative functions (e.g. accommodation, IT).
