As noted in the response I gave on 12th September 2017 to Question 9648, the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy has received services from the Behavioural Insights Team since 2014 enabling the Department to add to its evidence base.

These services fell into a number of different projects from BEIS and the predecessor departments BIS and DECC. It is difficult to break down the amounts paid for each service as the work strands incorporate many of these different elements.
