Description
The Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy are looking to establish a framework which will be used to inform energy/climate change policy across BEIS.
The overarching aim of the framework is to maximise the effectiveness of energy/climate policy by ensuring that they are informed by behavioural science. BEIS wish to have access to expertise of applying behavioural science to improve policy and subject matter expertise/understanding of behavioural/societal change.
The framework contract will be used to inform energy/climate change policy across BEIS. In particular, the framework and resulting contracts will be used to improve the implementation and design of planned policies, propose ideas for new initiatives, support with methodological design and fulfil ad-hoc behaviour change evidence needs.
In particular, the framework will be used to improve the implementation and design of planned policies, propose ideas for new initiatives, support with methodological design and fulfil ad-hoc behaviour change evidence needs.
There is a wide variety of potential behavioural science projects which we anticipate the framework will cover, broadly including:
1) improving the design and implementation of proposed policies;
2) identifying new interventions to help deliver behaviour change;
3) upskilling and guidance;
4) methodological advice and design.
The main procurement for this framework is expected to be launched at the beginning of November.
It is intended that the framework will be live from January 2021 to April 2023.
