T23/0105 - Research public feedback on solar PV panels

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Northumbria University has been awarded research grant funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to investigate the aesthetic integration of solar photovoltaic panels into the built environment.

As part of this project the investigator team has created a range of illustrative concept designs.

We are now seeking to commission a piece of research to gain and understand feedback from the public on these concept designs.

We are particularly keen to gain feedback that may relate to broader aspects of sustainability or well-being that could, for example, include behaviours, perceptions, perspectives and emotions.

In providing this brief, we are seeking to engage with providers that have experience of conducting social science research with the public including: research design and methodology; and accessing and engaging with a large and varied sample set.
