PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is procuring consumer sentiment data collection for the Scottish Consumer Sentiment Indicator (SCSI), a service supporting regular economic analysis. The requirement is to continue the monthly and quarterly time series for Scotland, allowing the Government to publish the indicator and assess people’s views and expectations of economic conditions, household financial security and spending attitudes. The work falls within economic and market research services (CPV 79300000) and is being delivered for the Scottish Government in Scotland. The buyer is seeking a supplier able to provide the data collection and associated outputs needed to maintain a consistent indicator over the contract period. The requirement is presented as one lot and is intended to support more timely insight into the Scottish economy than traditional economic statistics.

The procurement has reached tender: the Scottish Government invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It comprises one lot for SCSI data collection. The tender deadline was 12 August 2026 at 16:00 UTC, with bid opening and the start of the award period scheduled for 16:30 UTC that day. The contract is for 720 days, described as two years, and has an estimated value of £85,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The evaluation uses suitability criteria, with the detailed requirements set out in the Evaluation Guide and Award Criteria document and the SPD module. Tenders must be submitted in English; variants are not allowed. The contract has no stated renewal or additional-purchase option.

This opportunity suits market research agencies, economic research consultancies, polling organisations and specialist data providers with the capability to collect and supply reliable consumer sentiment data for Scotland. Relevant suppliers will need experience of producing recurring monthly and quarterly data, maintaining a consistent time series and delivering outputs that support economic analysis. The work is likely to favour organisations able to manage an ongoing data-collection operation over a two-year period, maintain dependable data quality and meet regular publication requirements. Suppliers should also be prepared to address the suitability requirements in the SPD module and evaluation documents, and to provide a compliant tender in English through the electronic submission route. The specification and data protection schedule should be reviewed before bidding.
