This Framework will replace the current Energy and Climate Change Behavioural Science Framework. The current Framework agreement acts as a mechanism for colleagues working across the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) to commission small-scale behavioural science research in the energy and net zero space at pace. It has proved very useful thus far; since launching in August 2022, we have already commissioned 15 projects through it for a range of teams across DESNZ and we anticipate this high level of interest to continue. Due to popular demand, the current framework is set to shortly meet its maximum spend and so we are reprocuring to avoid a period without this mechanism in place. UK SBS is managing this procurement process in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as may be amended from time to time) (the “Regulations”). The award of this Framework will be based on 3 Lots: - Lot 1Applying innovative behavioural thinking to a policy problem. - Lot 2Policy development and testing with the general population. - Lot 3Policy development and testing with complex samples. This Framework will be made accessible for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) (The Contracting Authority) and it is intended that 3 Suppliers will be appointed for each of the Lots detailed above. Potential bidders / consortia are invited to tender for one or more Lots on an individual basis. The Framework duration shall be for a maximum period of 5 years. The Framework is expected to run from June 2024 until 31st June 2027. However, the Contracting Authority will be implementing a break clause within the Framework, placed at the end of June 2028 and June 2029. The break clause will enable the Contracting Authority to ensure that Government priorities and budget availability are still aligned. Therefore, this Framework is being let on a 3, +1, +1 basis. The break clauses must be formally instructed by the Contracting Authority prior to moving into the next year of the Framework Agreement. The Framework will have a maximum value cap of £1,800,000.00 across the full potential duration.
