Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) recently concluded the procurement process for the provision of survey incentive vouchers, classified under the industry category of jewellery, watches, and related articles (CPV: 18500000). This procurement process, identified by the ocid "ocds-h6vhtk-04c72a", was ultimately awarded on 25th July 2023. The tender process employed was a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, owing to the contract falling outside the directive's scope. The contract, valued at £18,000,000 GBP, specifically covers voucher incentives for surveys, to be distributed across the UK.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for businesses capable of supplying goods efficiently on a national scale. Large organisations with expertise in producing or distributing incentive vouchers, particularly those already engaged in similar frameworks, are well-suited to compete for such contracts. The decisive nature of direct awards under established frameworks, as seen in this case with framework RM6248, indicates a favourable environment for suppliers that can maintain consistent quality and meet substantial order requirements. This procurement not only signifies substantial financial growth potential for the winning business but also opens avenues for future collaboration with national agencies like the ONS.
