## Summary

The procurement process involves the Office for National Statistics, which is based in Newport, Wales. The contract titled "Provision for Services to Develop a 5th Digital Level for the Standard Occupation Classification" relates to the industry category of data services. The procurement has reached the Award stage, with the contract awarded on 28th September 2018. The contract period starts from 15th October 2018 until 31st December 2019, with a total value of £44,544. The procurement method used was a direct single tender action, as the value fell below the prescribed threshold.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in data services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in governmental projects that enhance occupational statistics. Companies that focus on developing data classification systems or have experience in occupational research would be particularly well-suited to compete. The involvement of the University of Warwick as a supplier indicates a potential for collaboration or knowledge exchange in this sector, making this tender an attractive prospect for organisations looking to expand their services within the public sector.

## Notice

The Standard Occupational Classification is the taxonomic system that applies to most sources of occupational statistics in the United Kingdom. At a meeting convened by the Gatsby Foundation in March 2018 it was concluded that there should be a coordinated effort to incorporate more detail into the SOC, than was available at the current unit group (4-digit) level.
