DESNZ awarded a contract to Behavioural Insights Ltd, Ipsos (Market Research) Ltd, Verian UK Ltd, and National Centre for Social Research for the Energy and Net Zero Behavioural Science Framework, valued at AUD 1,800,000.

The framework, managed by UKSBS, replaces the previous Energy and Climate Change Behavioural Science Framework and enables DESNZ to commission small-scale behavioural science research in the energy and net zero space at pace.

It comprises three lots: applying innovative behavioural thinking to a policy problem; policy development and testing with the general population; and policy development and testing with complex samples.

Three suppliers are appointed per lot, and the framework duration is up to five years, expected to run from June 2024 until 31 June 2027, with a break clause.
