This open procedure seeks to commission a literature review that explores the public's comprehension and utilisation of statistics. The tender period concludes on 18th February 2019, while the contract begins on 25th February 2019 and runs until 29th March 2019. Interested suppliers are encouraged to register via the Intend portal, with delivery addresses accepted throughout the United Kingdom and beyond, including British Overseas Territories and Europe. This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in research and development services, particularly those engaged in consultancy related to public statistics. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly welcomed to compete for this contract, as the review is designed to deepen understanding of statistical impact and enhance statistical communication strategies among producers. Businesses with a focus on behavioural research, language interpretation or statistical analysis will find this tender to be a fitting match for their capabilities. ## Notice The Office for Statistical Regulation is aware that there is a substantial body of research examining citizen's understanding, responses to and use of statistics, covering issues ranging from studies examining the emotional response of citizen's to published statistics, through to language experiments supporting the release of statistics aimed at improving interpretation. A variety of organisations have and continue to examine these issues, including, although not limited to FullFact, the Centre for evidence Based Medicine, National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR), the Winton Centre, the Harding Centre, and a range of other academic institutions in the UK and abroad. OSR would like to commission a literature review of this body of research. The review will enable us to gain a greater understanding of the impact of statistics on public understanding, and how producers/publishers of statistics can ensure that their statistics are interpreted as they intend. Additional information: All suppliers who would like to bid for this work must register via the Intend portal http://www.in-tend.com/ N.B. Please note - this tender is suitable for all suppliers and SME's are welcome. Apologies for any confusion.
