## Summary

The procurement process titled "Applying Behavioural Insights to DfT's Digital by Default Workstream" was initiated by the Department for Transport (DfT) in the United Kingdom, focusing on research and consultancy services. This tender, classified under CPV code 73000000, aims to facilitate a cultural shift towards digital working among DfT staff. The contract is completed, with a total value of £13,575. It was awarded on 17th March 2015, with the contract period extending from 17th March 2015 to 31st March 2016. Notably, delivery is expected in London, aligning with the DfT's operational base in this region.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for firms specialising in behavioural research and digital consultancy. Businesses experienced in fostering technological adoption within public organisations, as well as those offering bespoke digital tools for policy making, would be particularly suited to compete. Engaging in this sector can enable companies to expand their portfolios within government contracts, thereby enhancing their market position in the arena of public sector innovation.

## Notice

We are trying to understand what perception staff have of digital ways of working and effect a cultural shift to this new way of working. We want to find out what the barriers are to staff using digital tools and changing their behaviour to use them in everyday policymaking. We are not only interested in awareness of digital tools but also the extent that people are aware of DfT digital processes for starting up new services. We expect the research to inform some of our communications to find out what staff would find useful, such as bespoke policy making tools, and that it will enable tracking of communications successes. Ultimately we want to equip and empower our staff with the skills and confidence they need to be able to do great work, using the best tools and approaches available to them. A list of digital internet tools available to staff will be provided.
