This initiative falls under the research services category and aims to acquire updated data on vacancy rates within high streets and retail centres across England. The procurement method is an open procedure and is currently at the completed award stage, with the contract period starting from 1st August 2018 and concluding on 25th March 2019. The total contract value is set at £4,750. Key dates include the tender deadline, which closed on 31st July 2018, and the award was published on 31st August 2018. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research and data analysis, particularly those that can provide insights on retail vacancy rates. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may offer innovative approaches suited to fulfilling the contract requirements. Companies with experience in data collection and analysis, especially in the retail sector, would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice In order to support policymaking and to help the Authority understand how local areas are faring, the Authority wishes to purchase up-to-date data on vacancy rates in high streets, town centres and other retail centres across England, as well as unit opening and closures across the country. This data will be used to track the 'health' of local areas and individual town centres as well as aid the Authority in targeting support and funding in the most effective way. The amendment is due to the fact that the levels of geography used for providing monthly updates of key variables will be changed to include lower - tier Local Authorities. This has incurred a one - off cost for the configuration work. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/080dc785-31b8-4d3b-93f2-35f460ecf3c0 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jul 2018 | | Future notice date | 20 Dec 2017 | | Award date | 20 Mar 2018 | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2018 - 25 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,750 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £31,450 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF HOUSING, COMMUNITIES & LOCAL GOVERNMENT | | Additional buyers | DEPARTMENT FOR COMMUNITIES & LOCAL GOVERNMENT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | THE LOCAL DATA | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 31 Aug 2018 at 13:12 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/080dc785-31b8-4d3b-93f2-35f460ecf3c0 - 23 Mar 2018 at 15:35 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/561dddf4-02e0-4bcc-975b-1aa77dd694f3 - 2 Feb 2018 at 14:18 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3c148157-43a2-4f74-9636-71c876bff20a - 4 Dec 2017 at 09:04 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e18c1042-d13a-4d16-a42e-7749e6d8b928 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/080dc785-31b8-4d3b-93f2-35f460ecf3c0 31st August 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/561dddf4-02e0-4bcc-975b-1aa77dd694f3 23rd March 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3c148157-43a2-4f74-9636-71c876bff20a 2nd February 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e18c1042-d13a-4d16-a42e-7749e6d8b928 4th December 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/15b6aba7-2210-4a76-913f-162c4065beb5 Pre-Market Engagement Details - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/86cb52fe-0ea6-408f-b256-a2448d8744b0 Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d59d0441-9694-4913-a720-b46afb039af4 Evaluation criteria - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d5a6846b-e0fc-4410-a252-0cec7db88511 Bravo Solution Registration Guidance - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/076bfb91-55d7-4e5d-ad97-d06b392c82ea Contract Award Letter - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/40b70195-ec6c-46d3-a206-256d6f264e15 Terms and Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a416ea7a-f846-470a-a71f-174c94a0c88d Amendment ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
