MOSL, on behalf of the Strategic Panel

The Strategic Panel is the business water market’s most senior industry group. It provides strategic direction and oversees programmes of work to improve market, customer, and environmental outcomes. Core to the Strategic Panel’s role is to transpose the strategic directions set by Ofwat (the regulator) and Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) into actions and programmes of work for MOSL (the market operator) and its members. Its members are the water companies – as known as wholesalers – and retailers who operate in the business water market.

The Performance Assurance Committee will be responsible for recommending monitoring performance in the business water market, holding companies to account to bring about improved customer outcomes and sustainable customer benefit. It is a delegated committee of the Strategic Panel for the business water retail market (the market) that will report to the Strategic Panel but make decisions autonomously (including recommendations for Ofwat).

The Performance Assurance Committee Chair should be experienced in facilitating decision-making at a senior level to support the consideration and prioritisation of performance management that will better deliver against defined strategic outcomes. Successful candidates will have experience of chairing a forum, committee or group and relevant experience of similar market operator functions and/or utilities markets (e.g. relevant expertise in consumer advocacy, policy, economics, regulation, law or governance from water or non-water industries).
