Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has completed a tender process for the "SSD Framework Agreement," amounting to £6 million, designated for organisations experienced in delivering large-scale social surveys. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on market research and statistics, with a contract period extending from 25 April 2016 to 24 April 2021. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 14 January 2016. The project serves various delivery addresses across the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and other locations in Europe and beyond.

This award presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in market and economic research. Businesses that possess robust research capabilities and experience in conducting large-scale surveys would be particularly well-suited to compete, including academic institutions, research consultancies, and firms recognised for their expertise in social research methodologies. Engaging in this framework agreement could expand a company’s portfolio and enable collaboration with ONS and potentially other government departments.
