The study will focus on drawing out findings relevant to Great Britain (GB), but draw on a wide range of evidence, including from the UK and international deployments. It will improve understanding of the motivating factors and barriers that drive small energy user decision making around DSR; and the products, services, policies and engagement strategies that could be most effective at achieving DSR at scale amongst these users. The project will require a range of analytical, social research and energy sector expertise. The contract is to be for a period of 6 months, to be finished by the end of March 2017. The contract is to be for a period of 6 months unless terminated or extended by the Department in accordance with the terms of the contract. ### Additional information: How to Apply If you wish to take part in this procurement please see the attached Tender documents attached to this Notice and send your completed Proposal to Peter Warren at address stipulated in the “Who to Contact” section.
