Tender description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Monday 4th January 2021 at 11:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) on behalf of The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), wishes to establish a Framework for the provision of Energy and Climate Change Behavioural Science Services. UK SBS is managing this procurement process in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) (the "Regulations"). The duration of this Framework will be 26 Months (From award till the 31st March 2023). It is intended that there will be 3 suppliers awarded to this Framework. These awarded suppliers will be ranked 1st 2nd and 3rd based of the scores awarded from this completion of this procurement. Background: Behavioural science provides vital insight regarding the responses of citizens, consumers, businesses, and other groups to government policies. Many energy and climate change policies particularly require, and indeed encourage, individuals to change their behaviour in response to incentives, regulation, and other measures - behavioural insights can help to maximise the impacts of these. Insights from behavioural science are important to ensure that proposed policies, market incentives, and other interventions will elicit the desired response from consumers and businesses. In addition, advice from behavioural scientists could help to improve policy development and maximise the effectiveness of policy interventions. This Framework is intended to enable BEIS to gain behavioural science insight within an appropriate timeframe to feed into policy development, while minimising the resources required to commission this work.
