Summary of the contracting process

The buying organisation, WWF-UK (World Wide Fund for Nature) Trading Limited, is seeking proposals for a research project titled "People-Centred Transition". This tender is classified under "Research and experimental development services" within the industry category. The project aims to produce a report that shortlists optimal policy design approaches in areas such as domestic heat and buildings, food and agriculture, and potentially power, with a focus on policies that benefit household finances. The tender is at the amendment stage, and the deadline for submissions is 25th February 2025. The contract period will begin on 3rd March 2025 and is set to end on 30th May 2025. The procurement method is limited, specifically a competitive quotation below the threshold.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in research and development consultancy services. Businesses with expertise in designing and executing research projects, particularly those aimed at policy development in environmental and household financial impact areas, will find this project especially suitable. Successful completion of the project can enhance the business's portfolio, provide valuable industry exposure, and potentially lead to further opportunities with WWF-UK and similar organisations.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Research Project - People-Centred Transition

Notice Description

Please read Terms of Reference for full details. Output A report that will select 2-3 policy areas that are crucial to the transition and likely to have an impact on household finances. These areas are: * Domestic heat and buildings * Food and agriculture * Power (TBC) For each area, the research will shortlist the optimal policy design approaches likely to achieve the required transition objectives while delivering maximum benefits to households. This could be through standalone policies that address the cost-of-living and deliver the transition simultaneously or policy packages where different components target different goals. Not all the policies will necessarily involve spending but, where they do, they should meet the parameters of the Investment Rule.
