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
This project will conduct research with the future electricity networks workforce and other
relevant stakeholders (e.g. major networks employers) to provide evidence of the barriers and
motivations of those with the relevant skills to working in the sector, so that steps can be taken to
overcome barriers and to leverage motivations. This will include mixed methods research
(surveys, interview/focus groups) with students studying relevant subjects, qualitative research
with a group of recent graduates in relevant subjects who have gone into networks and nonnetworks
roles, and qualitative research with other stakeholders such as major networks
employers and educational institutions.
This research will play a vital role in supporting long-term policy development for the networks
sector and will also aim to provide insights in the nearer term to support existing government and
industry commitments, including those announced in the Transmission Acceleration Action Plan.1
