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 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/637a7fc7-1456-4b51-ad0b-758e73b79c2b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 25 Feb 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Mar 2025 - 30 May 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WWF-UK (WORLD WIDE FUND FOR NATURE) TRADING LIMITED | | Locality | WOKING | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU21 4LL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Woking | | Electoral ward | Horsell | | Westminster constituency | Woking | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 24 Feb 2025 at 10:26 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/637a7fc7-1456-4b51-ad0b-758e73b79c2b - 30 Jan 2025 at 17:41 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/637a7fc7-1456-4b51-ad0b-758e73b79c2b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/637a7fc7-1456-4b51-ad0b-758e73b79c2b 24th February 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/53670307-10c1-402c-a92f-b84f8037176a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/501f67af-16d6-4e21-8942-35d6935f90d0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c5ce16b3-e360-4107-aeaa-1baf1f14b638 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bb46273c-9ce0-40a3-a829-bdd7362fb0e0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/03157aa8-656f-47f2-af6f-1b97976d758e ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
