## Summary

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has issued a tender titled "Provision of Alcohol Data (On Trade) - Market Engagement" aimed at establishing representative prices for alcoholic beverages sold for immediate consumption in the UK. This open procurement process, classified under data services, is currently at the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 24 September 2021. The anticipated contract period begins on 1 January 2022 and concludes on 31 December 2023. Bids should reflect prices including VAT and must focus on data gathered from legitimate sales to households within the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in data collection, analysis, and processing, particularly those with experience in the beverage sector. Suppliers focusing on providing accurate, robust data from hospitality venues—such as hotels, restaurants, and bars—will be well-positioned to fulfil the substantial data requirements outlined in this tender. As the ONS seeks ongoing data on alcohol expenditure, businesses are encouraged to demonstrate their methodologies for data sourcing and collection to secure a competitive advantage in this recurring procurement opportunity.

## Notice

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) wishes to make estimates of household expenditure on alcoholic beverages as a component of National Accounts and is published separately in Consumer Trends. To assist in these estimates, it wishes to establish fully representative prices of all categories of alcoholic beverages purchased for personal consumption within the United Kingdom. Only purchases made by individuals, from legitimate outlets are to be recorded in the estimates. The ONS will combine this price data with volume data received from HM Customs and Excise to derive final estimates of household expenditure on alcoholic beverages in the UK. The ONS is looking for a Supplier who will supply price and volume data to the ONS to fulfil the price requirement of these estimates. This data should represent all On Trade sales of alcoholic beverages by organisations directly to the households, non-household expenditure is not to be included. The alcoholic beverages classified as on trade are those sold for immediate consumption away from the home by hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars, kiosks, street vendors, automatic vending machines, etc. A survey of alcohol consumption from households will not match the data requirements. This data will be required on a quarterly basis. The price supplied must reflect what the consumer actually spends, i.e. it is to include value added tax (VAT). As part of any future tender exercise, the Supplier will be required to provide a detailed description of the sources and methodology used to compile its data. The Supplier will need to show the level of detail at which the raw data are being collected as well as the coverage of outlets used. Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : Yes
