The PTS is a test system, similar in configuration, to the live BSC central systems environment. It is available to BSC Parties, Party Agents, third party software providers & ELEXON to increase the level of assurance to individual companies, and to the industry as a whole. You can use the PTS service before competing CVA Qualification testing and operating in the live environment, and to test any impacts as a result of changes to your business software. The PTS service is booked in half day test slots (9am-1pm/1-5pm) and is charged at £932+VAT per test slot. New Parties entering the market can book a half day test slot at a 50% reduced rate. This is limited to one single booking. If you require another slot you must pay the full amount. To book a PTS test slot please submit a completed PTS Booking Form (82Kb) to BSCServicedesk@logica.com. If you are a new Partyand would like to make use of the reduced rate, send your booking form to market.entry@elexon.co.uk.
