Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-046cf7

Description

The Data Communications Company (DCC) is the central communications body licensed to provide the

communications, data transfer and management required to support smart metering. DCC was

appointed by using an outsourced service model, to manage contracted smart metering service

providers. As such, external costs compose the largest proportion of DCC's costs, and it is critical that

these contracts are entered into, managed and closed out effectively and efficiently. Each year, the

Authority scrutinises DCC's incurred and forecast costs through the annual Price Control process to

determine whether these costs are economic and efficient. Alongside the cost assessment, DCC also

faces financial incentives under the Operational Performance Regime (OPR)
