Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy, Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) has announced the awarded contract for a project titled "PS25165 - Supporting access to the benefits of climate policy: public perspectives." This procurement falls under the research and development services industry category, focusing on insights related to climate policy benefits. The full contract execution period is from 19th September 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement process employed a selective approach via a dynamic purchasing system, and the tender stage has been marked as complete. The entire contract is valued at £229,993.10 and targets a broad delivery scope, including regions such as the United Kingdom, Europe, and further afield to locations like the British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, with a particular emphasis on those capable of handling large-scale projects and providing insights into climate policy impact. While larger businesses such as the National Centre for Social Research have been awarded the contract, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are also considered suitable for such opportunities, given the contract's focus on delivery across diverse geographic areas and its inherent alignment with growing global environmental and sustainability agendas. Companies with expertise in climate action consultancy, policy analysis, and social research are particularly well-placed to leverage such contracts to foster business growth and establish a foothold in international markets.
