UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics procured specialist data supply services for the European Comparison Programme. The requirement is to collect and validate construction price data for the Purchasing Power Parity Construction Survey, supporting European comparisons of purchasing power. The work covers construction price information and associated data-quality activity, rather than construction delivery itself. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement was a single service requirement, awarded to Upright Insight Ltd, a Norwich-based small and medium-sized enterprise. The relevant service classification is data supply services (CPV 72319000). Suppliers operating in construction-price research, economic statistics, price-data collection, data validation or related commercial data services would have a direct interest in this type of requirement.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition conducted through a competitive quotation exercise. It was divided into one lot. Upright Insight Ltd was selected for the service. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 30 August 2026 to 29 August 2029. Its value is £44,700 excluding VAT, or £53,640 including VAT. The award route was a limited procedure, using the Cabinet Office short-form contract and PA23. The stated requirement was evaluated through the competitive quotation exercise; the published information does not set out separate scoring weightings or other detailed evaluation criteria. The contract is active under the completed procurement.

For a supplier assessing future work from the Office for National Statistics, this procurement demonstrates demand for reliable construction-price data rather than general construction services. A credible competitor would need the capability to source relevant construction price information across the UK, apply consistent collection methods, validate submissions and identify or resolve data-quality issues. Experience producing structured economic, market or price intelligence would be relevant, particularly where outputs must support statistical comparison and scrutiny. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that specialist data businesses can compete without needing to be a major national contractor. Businesses should be able to manage a defined public-sector service, maintain dependable data processes and provide evidence that their outputs are accurate, reproducible and suitable for official statistical analysis.
