Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "CR21041 - Heat Networks Zoning Social Research," is managed by UK Shared Business Services Limited and falls under the research and development consultancy services category. The project aims to gather stakeholder perspectives related to the introduction of Heat Network Zones in England and potentially Wales. It commenced on 30 April 2021 and is scheduled to conclude by 1 October 2021. The tender awarded to the Centre for Sustainable Energy was executed under a selective procurement method using a dynamic purchasing system. The contract value is £122,972, with references to relevant methodologies and public engagement across six cities, including Bristol and Birmingham.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the research and consultancy sector, particularly those experienced in market research and stakeholder engagement, to contribute to the advancement of heat decarbonisation policies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in related future initiatives, as the focus on understanding public attitudes towards heat networks could lead to additional projects aimed at environmental sustainability and energy efficiency in urban settings.

Notice Title

CR21041 - Heat Networks Zoning Social Research

Notice Description

**THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION** This award was made under Crown Commercial Services Research Marketplace Dynamic Purchasing System RM6018 This research project will enable BEIS to plug key policy development evidence gaps with the main aims of: * Assessing the attitudes, views and perspectives of stakeholders which may be impacted by the introduction of Heat Network Zones in England (and potentially Wales). * Providing the necessary evidence base to inform policy recommendations to Ministers. It will therefore inform the scoping, design and refinement of an ambitious and important policy in our transition to net-zero. We propose that the research is undertaken with impacted groups (see section 3) across six cities (Bristol, Birmingham, Greater Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle & Nottingham) in which a methodology to designate zones is already being piloted as part of a wider project on heat decarbonisation The sub-aims of the research are to: * Engage with a representative sample of building types and asset owners across the six cities that fall within the identified heat network zones. * Identify key considerations underpinning attitudes towards heat decarbonisation (choice, cost, responsibilities, carbon). * Seek views on being part of a local solution vs. an individual building solution to heat decarbonisation. * Determine attitudes towards being mandated/ compelled/ encouraged to connect to a heat network and on what basis (i.e. what evidence would need to underpin this). * Identify key risks/opportunities identified by sample group.
