This procurement falls under the industry category of animal products and meat, with a tender period that concludes on 7 September 2018. The contract is set to begin on 1 January 2019 and will last until 31 December 2019. Interested parties are encouraged to register on the ONS e-tendering portal to express their interest in the project and provide further details about their capabilities. This tender presents a significant opportunity for data analytics firms, agricultural economists, and businesses involved in meat production or supply chain management. Companies capable of providing timely and comparably accurate meat price data are particularly well-suited to compete in this tender. The ONS is looking for regular submissions of data, ideally on a weekly or fortnightly basis, which presents a chance for businesses to demonstrate their expertise and potentially secure a long-term contract with a key governmental authority. ## Notice The Office for National Statistics is looking for regular collection on meat prices. The data requirements can be broken down into rules as follows: o Point of price/sale: We need prices of meat at the production level (i.e. out of the factory - post 'processing') and not retail prices which reflect retailers' profit margins. o Accuracy: The prices of meat must be comparable over time. This means the product specification must not change frequently and must be representative of what producers purchase. o Timeliness: Ideally weekly/fortnightly price data. o Coverage: A variety of cuts and meats whose data is collected regularly, allowing comparability. o Geography: National prices collected in a methodologically uniform way would be appropriate.
