ETI is seeking expressions of interest for household heating design aids

Through a three year research project we have built a detailed understanding of why households use heat and hot water at home as they do. This is contained both within formal research deliverables (written reports, survey data, spreadsheets and graphs) and ETI staff knowledge.

We now want to set up contractual arrangements so we can work with service designers to create tools that enable others to rapidly understand what this data means and engage with relevant details creatively. Ultimately the aim of these tools is to inform the design of products, services and policies so that they can successfully decarbonise heating in the UK.

We want to engage organisations with service design experience to help scope the detail of how we tackle our challenge. To that end, we plan to break down our challenge into a small number of tasks so we can describe the outcome we want, rather than a pre-specified solution we are tied to. For each set of tasks we will discuss and agree the outputs we require, deadline for completion, acceptance criteria and the total budget available.

The deadline for submitting a response is the 14th September 2015
