PS23213 - Energy Efficiency & Net Zero Longitudinal Survey RAF016/2324

Tender description

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under CCS RM6126 Research & Insights DPS. Brief Description of Requirement This research will support strategy and policy development by identifying emerging trends on the self-reported uptake of energy-saving actions and other green choices across the UK population, as well as cross-cutting enablers and barriers. Contractors will be expected to work closely with DESNZ to understand how the survey can best support strategy and policy development. Importantly this research will act as an ongoing source of evidence by identifying individual level changes and spillover effects over time. This work can inform understanding of the behavioural aspects relating to the delivery of net zero and related DESNZ programmes, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. A key motivation of this research is to understand how uptake of energy-saving actions, energy demand flexibility behaviours , other green choices, and related social norms change over time. This includes understanding what and why changes are occurring, and for whom. DESNZ is also interested in using this research to understand ongoing impacts of changes, as well as to contribute to evidence on spillover effects. Therefore, a longitudinal research design is needed.
