Notice Information
Notice Title
Provision of CPI and RPI Local Price Collection and Associated Statistical Services
Notice Description
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) produces a wide range of key economic/social statistics. The Consumer Prices Indices (CPI and CPIH) and the Retail Price Index (RPI) figures are one of the most important (and most public) statistics that the ONS produces. They are one of the key economic indicators used by HM Treasury, the Monetary Policy Committee, and across Government and the private sector for decision making. The contract involves the collection of nationally representative price data from retail outlets for the UK's monthly inflation indicators, the CPI and the RPI. The services to be provided include: (i) item selection: the participation, with ONS staff, in the periodic review and selection of items for a basket of goods and services and of a subset of those items for which the service provider will collect prices; (ii) sourcing of products and outlets: finding products that comply with the item specifications, and outlets in which to price those products; (iii) location enumeration; the enumeration of, and supply of information on, locations where this is needed for outlet selection; (iv) collection of prices: the collection of representative price data and descriptions of the products being priced for the subset of items for which the service provider will collect prices; (v) data cleaning: the checking of the data for quality; (vi) data delivery: the delivery of the data to ONS; and (vii) associated services: including but not limited to market information on prices, retailers, goods and services; and the twice yearly collection of price data (in London) for the Purchasing Power Parities surveys. Additional information: Following the issue of our PIN in the OJEU (ref: 234624-2019) on 17th May 2019, ONS is now conducting Market Engagement activity via our e-tendering portal, In-Tend. We have developed a Powerpoint presentation to explain the RPI/CPI contract requirement and will be answering any questions/comments received within a two week window, until 5pm on Friday 12th July 2019. During this process, if it becomes apparent that a spoken question and answer session would be beneficial then a teleconference will be arranged. In order to access this Project, suppliers must be set-up as a supplier on In-Tend. New suppliers can register at the following address: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/ons/aspx/Home Once registered, please send and email confirming your company name to jessica.payne@ons.gov.uk and kieran.davies@ons.gov.uk and you will be added to the project. All further correspondence will be carried out via In-Tend. Please note that all suppliers will be permitted to submit a bid for any subsequent tender exercise that may arise following the market engagement activity, regardless of participation in the market engagement activity.
