Ofcom Skilled Persons

Ofcom are keen to engage with suitably experienced suppliers capable of delivering a 'Skilled Persons' service.

The Skilled Persons' report powers under the Online Safety Act are new powers for Ofcom. This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise seeks feedback from the market and particularly from experienced experts who specialise in any of the identified Work Areas (detailed in the PME document), through responses to the PME Questionnaire .

We are keen to engage to better understand the market in relation to:

• the work areas and how they are grouped;
• the different contracting models;
• the different payment mechanisms; and
• how to cost for the services of a Skilled Persons' report.

The PME document can be found on Ofcom's eSourcing portal. Please see 'Engagement process description' below.
