The industry category of this project is Research and development services and related consultancy services, and it is located primarily in the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is at the Award phase, with the contract period starting on 9 January 2025 and ending on 31 March 2025. The tender was conducted using a limited procurement method, specifically a competitive quotation (below threshold), with a total contract value of £35,000. The tender period concluded on 18 December 2024. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in behavioural science and research and development services. Given the focus on increasing capacity and improving diversity in the energy efficiency retrofit supply chain, this project is particularly suitable for SMEs and organisations with expertise in overcoming behavioural barriers. Businesses working within the consultancy domain and those with experience in promoting workforce diversity and supply chain enhancement will find this project beneficial for expanding their portfolio and fostering business growth through innovative research contributions. ## Notice ***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a competitive procurement exercise. Brief description of requirement This project aims to better understand how to engage the target labour market groups listed above and improve diversity of the supply chain. DESNZ's previous research into the EE retrofit supply chain highlighted that many behavioural factors, such as a preference for construction workers to work within an industry they are familiar with or negative perceptions amongst people of the construction industry as a whole, are key factors limiting the growth of the supply chain. This research will focus on more deeply understanding these existing behavioural barriers that might stop the groups above from entering the EE retrofit supply chain and identify targeted solutions to the barriers. Whilst we know that demand for EE retrofit work is perhaps the biggest barrier to boosting the capacity of the supply chain, this barrier is well known, and work is ongoing to address this. Rather than focusing in-depth on demand, this research should work on the assumption that eventually demand for EE measures and roles in the EE retrofit supply chain will increase, so it should focus on other behavioural barriers that need to be overcome. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20000868-803b-452c-a072-8d910d2eca04 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 18 Dec 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 9 Jan 2025 | | Contract period | 9 Jan 2025 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £35,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £35,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | BEHAVIOURAL INSIGHTS; BEHAVIOURAL INSIGHTS TEAM | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 13 Feb 2025 at 11:00 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20000868-803b-452c-a072-8d910d2eca04 - 10 Feb 2025 at 10:59 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20000868-803b-452c-a072-8d910d2eca04 - 10 Feb 2025 at 10:55 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20000868-803b-452c-a072-8d910d2eca04 - 10 Feb 2025 at 10:53 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20000868-803b-452c-a072-8d910d2eca04 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20000868-803b-452c-a072-8d910d2eca04 10th February 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/13dee056-2140-4131-8a74-5603e8eef5b6 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
