Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics has completed a direct procurement process for the "Provision of Acorn data for housing market analysis," focusing on services within the research and development industry category. The contract, awarded to CACI LIMITED, is situated in the United Kingdom, reflecting CACI's expertise in providing statistical data for important indexes such as the RPI, CPI, CPIH, and the UK House Price Index. The procurement, carried out below the competitive threshold, culminated with the contract's signing on 10th October 2025, with service delivery beginning on 18th January 2026 and ending on 17th January 2031.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development services, particularly those with robust data provision capabilities. While this contract was awarded without competition due to its value being beneath the threshold, companies looking to expand in the public sector could focus on similar opportunities in central government departments. The process underscores the importance of establishing a strong presence and reputation in specific service areas to potentially provide essential analytic tools for government statistics, thereby positioning themselves for future contracts of this nature. Large-scale businesses with access to specialised datasets would find such tenders particularly suited to their resources and ambitions.
