Description

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION *****

This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the CCS RM6126 Research & Insights DPS.

Brief Description of Requirement

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) was created to drive innovation that will deliver improved public services, create new better-paid jobs and grow the economy. The Science & Technology Framework (2023) identifies the importance of accelerated translation of research into innovation as an important input to driving economic growth, building on work done for the UK Innovation Strategy (2021). We previously commissioned research to explore existing evidence on the enablers and barriers to innovation diffusion and adoption and identified a lack of data on business adoption activities as one of the largest barriers to boosting diffusion and adoption .
This research will help to identify the largest barriers to the diffusion and adoption of numerous innovations (including but not limited to technologies) that will underpin future economic growth, accounting for differences across innovations, sectors and regions. This will inform interventions to unlock economic growth in emerging clusters and the wider economy, enabling firms to access the innovations to boost productivity and growth, enhancing the impact of public and private investments in R&D.
