About the 1939 Register The 1939 Register was taken on 29th September, 1939 and records data for 40 million people including names, addresses, marital status and occupations. Commissioned to take stock of the civil population in order to issue Identity Cards and to establish rationing and other war time provisions, in the longer term it would go on to play a central role in the establishment of post-war services, such as the NHS, and more. With the release of census data limited by legislation, the most recent data currently available publicly is the 1911 census, with the 1921 census coming online around 2022. The 1931 census was destroyed by war and the 1941 census was never taken, making the 1939 Register the most complete survey of the civil population of England and Wales available for a 30-year period. Its publication online is the most significant public release of historical records of the decade. The Register comprises 1.2 million pages in 7,000 volumes. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e7d274e-2aab-4422-926d-4677d69f00e8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Apr 2017 | | Submission deadline | 12 May 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2017 - 30 Nov 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES | | Locality | RICHMOND | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW9 4DU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | | Local authority | Richmond upon Thames | | Electoral ward | Kew | | Westminster constituency | Richmond Park | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ## Release History - 27 Apr 2017 at 08:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e7d274e-2aab-4422-926d-4677d69f00e8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e7d274e-2aab-4422-926d-4677d69f00e8 27th April 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
