We anticipate that the specifics of the research design will be informed by the findings of the evidence review, however, we expect that an online survey using a large sample - or multiple samples - will be required to enable robust conclusions to be drawn about different sub-populations. We welcome proposals on how the quantitative data can be complimented by qualitative data collection, such as interviews or focus groups. Analysis of the data collected to draw conclusions about how the Scottish Government could work with trusted messengers, use specific channels and formats, and target particular moments to maximise the effectiveness of its public engagement on heat decarbonisation, including the strategies that would work best with particular groups. A detailed explanation of the proposed methodological approach, including any limitations, should be provided. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV463530 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 24 Nov 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | Lots value | £40,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH CLIMATEXCHANGE | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH1 1HT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 7 Nov 2022 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV463530 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV463530&idx=1 7th November 2022 - ITT doc - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV463530 REVISED Communicating effectively on the heat transition - The aim of this research is to explore and recommend key considerations and approaches to communication to increase awareness and understanding amongst Scottish homeowners of the heat decarbonisation and energy efficiency improvements they will need to make to their properties over the coming years. ## Notice URLs - http:// - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000712491 - https://www.climatexchange.org.uk/ - https://www.climatexchange.org.uk/about-cxc/working-with-us/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=712491 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
