Covering multiple regions including the UK and Europe, this research will support strategic and policy developments related to energy efficiency and net zero emissions. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research and development services, particularly those focusing on behavioural insights and environmental strategies. With an emphasis on SMEs, companies with expertise in longitudinal research, energy-saving measures, and policy development could find this contract advantageous for growth. Engaging in this project enables businesses to influence sustainable practices and develop robust insights supporting the government's net zero objectives, thereby enhancing their position and reputation within the industry. ## Notice ***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under CCS RM6126 Research & Insights DPS. Brief Description of Requirement This research will support strategy and policy development by identifying emerging trends on the self-reported uptake of energy-saving actions and other green choices across the UK population, as well as cross-cutting enablers and barriers. Contractors will be expected to work closely with DESNZ to understand how the survey can best support strategy and policy development. Importantly this research will act as an ongoing source of evidence by identifying individual level changes and spillover effects over time. This work can inform understanding of the behavioural aspects relating to the delivery of net zero and related DESNZ programmes, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. A key motivation of this research is to understand how uptake of energy-saving actions, energy demand flexibility behaviours , other green choices, and related social norms change over time. This includes understanding what and why changes are occurring, and for whom. DESNZ is also interested in using this research to understand ongoing impacts of changes, as well as to contribute to evidence on spillover effects. Therefore, a longitudinal research design is needed. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13935563-3ca3-49ac-98b2-6ba0fa0e4964 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a dynamic purchasing system | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Jan 2026 | | Submission deadline | 21 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 24 Sep 2023 | | Contract period | 24 Sep 2023 - 30 Jun 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £797,332 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £797,332 | | 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 | DESNZ | | Additional buyers | UK SBS | | 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 | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | I.F.F RESEARCH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 27 Jan 2026 at 09:45 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13935563-3ca3-49ac-98b2-6ba0fa0e4964 - 20 Jan 2026 at 09:54 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13935563-3ca3-49ac-98b2-6ba0fa0e4964 - 17 Oct 2023 at 13:20 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13935563-3ca3-49ac-98b2-6ba0fa0e4964 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13935563-3ca3-49ac-98b2-6ba0fa0e4964 27th January 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/477b2f7d-dad0-436d-a6cc-cec3ace48dad n/a ## Notice URLs - http://www.uksbs.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
