Key responsibility and outputs
The initial assessment of plans (IAP) starts when companies submit their business plans on 3 September 2018. We will publish the results of our IAP on 31 January 2019. During the IAP Ofwat will assess the quality, ambition and innovation of these plans across 9 test areas and based on this assessment, will categorise plans into one of four categories: exceptional; fast track; slow track; and significant scrutiny. The 9 test areas we will assess are:
1. Engaging customers:
2. Addressing affordability and vulnerability;
3. Delivering outcomes for customers;
4. Securing long term resilience;
5. Targeted controls, markets and innovation;
6. Securing cost efficiency;
7. Aligning risk and return;
8. Accounting for past delivery; and
9. Securing confidence and assurance.
You will be part of the team responsible for testing the quality, ambition and innovation of company business plans in test areas 1, 2 and 3 from the list above. More information on what we will be assessing in these test areas can be found in Appendix to chapter 14 of our final PR19 methodology.
