## Notice

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded as a direct award under the CCS PS21174 - Energy and Climate Change Behavioural Science Framework - Lot 3 Brief Description of Requirement The government expects annual electricity demand to increase from current levels by over 35% in 2035 and by over 70% in 2050. New wind generation is shifting the centre of electricity generation from power stations in industrial zones to increasingly remote areas, including at sea generation. This will lead to more infrastructure and greater impacts both onshore and offshore, affecting communities. The new network infrastructure needed to enable the delivery of electricity from producer to consumer across the UK includes overhead and underground lines, offshore transmission cables, substations and landing infrastructure. We face complex barriers to the development of the transmission and distribution networks ranging from lengthy planning process, system design, supply chains, system constraint costs, environmental pressures, and community engagement.
