2025-090 Development of Virtual Reality Training App

Ofgem requires a supplier to develop immersive learning scenarios that will be used to give employees a greater understanding of the assets that Ofgem regulates through a virtual tour of an electricity substation and gas above ground installation. The technology Ofgem requires from a supplier is to engage and empower users to gain knowledge and a better understanding of the topics provided and support them in making decisions through interactions and answering questions, while they navigate their chosen route through the scenarios, delivering unlimited interactivity to perform tasks and implement actions within a realistic 3D virtual environment. This will provide Ofgem new starters and existing employees with an immersive training asset and engaging learning experience. Two scenarios are required, one for Gas and the second for electricity. Both scenarios are required to be available and accessible online via Microsoft Edge web browser, as Ofgem employees will use their PCs/laptops/tablets to access them. A Virtual Reality (VR) version of the scenarios is also required and available for Ofgem to use on-site at their premises to further enhance the user's experience.
