4 Collaboration Model and Governance¶

Party	Primary contribution	What remains unchanged
Asset owner or asset manager	Sets objectives, risk appetite, contracts, budgets and approval authority	Retains ownership decisions and contractual accountability
Onsite O and M contractor	Maintains equipment, diagnoses faults, executes work, provides site status and technical evidence	Retains site safety and contracted maintenance responsibilities
OEM or specialist contractor	Provides product expertise, warranty support, engineering instructions and specialist services	Retains its agreed technical and warranty responsibilities
Trader or market intermediary	Maintains bids, rebids, availability submissions and market response within authority	Retains registered and delegated market functions
Proposed service team	Connects site, performance, compliance and market information; analyses events and supports decisions	Does not control plant or direct site work unless separately authorised

The site or O and M team identifies an alarm, outage, derating, work constraint or expected change in capability.

The information is captured using an agreed minimum event record and shared through the existing communication channel.

The proposed service team assesses availability, dispatch, compliance, contractual and market implications.

The owner, authorised trader or responsible compliance officer makes any decision within their authority.

The site team executes approved work and provides progress, restoration estimates and evidence.

The event is closed only after technical restoration, reporting, commercial classification and recurrence actions are reconciled.

Cadence	Joint activity	Output
Event driven	Material outage, derating, dispatch deviation, constraint or safety-related operating change	Common situation record, impact assessment and escalation
Daily or shift based	Availability changes, active faults, work status and upcoming market-sensitive activities	Aligned operating outlook
Weekly	Review planned work, recurring issues, market conditions and unresolved actions	Prioritised seven to fourteen day plan
Monthly	Reconcile availability, losses, incidents, compliance evidence and commercial outcomes	Owner and O and M performance pack
Quarterly	Review trends, contract interfaces, reliability campaigns and improvement opportunities	Joint improvement roadmap

No parallel instruction channel: site directions continue through authorised owner and contractor processes.

No surprise scoring: definitions, evidence and calculations are shared before performance conclusions are issued.

No optimisation at the expense of safe work, warranties or sound maintenance practice.

Market intelligence is shared early enough to improve planning, not after the outage as criticism.

Contractual disagreements are separated from technical fact-finding and referred to authorised representatives.
