## Summary

The Office for National Statistics is seeking tenders for the project titled "Public Confidence in Official Statistics 2020 & 2022", which falls under the research services industry category. The procurement process is currently at the planning stage, with the tender announcements already made and scheduled for shortlisting on 1st October 2019. The contract period will run from 1st February 2020 until 31st January 2023, and the primary contract delivery region is Wales.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for research firms especially those with experience in conducting independent surveys as it requires expertise to measure public awareness and trust in official statistics. Businesses that are well-versed in survey methodologies or have a history of working with public statistics will be best suited to participate. This project encourages companies to engage with the CCS Research Market Place dynamic purchasing system, which is essential for gaining access to tender documents and further procurement processes.

## Notice

The Authority has commissioned a PCOS survey every two years since 2014. The survey explores levels of awareness, use of, and trust in official statistics in Britain. It also explores changes in attitudes to official statistics over time, compares the views of the general public in Britain with the public in other countries and quantifies regular users of official statistics in the UK. The questionnaire for the survey is based on the OECD internationally harmonised questionnaire. The OECD states the field work for the survey should not carried out by the country's National Statistics Institute, but rather is conducted by a suitable independent survey company. The Authority will be conducting this tender via the CCS Research Market Place DPS. A shortlisting exercise will be done on the 25th October via the DPS. If you are interested in this opportunity and are not currently registered on the DPS, please see the following link for information on how to register. You will be required to have registered on the DPS prior to the 25th October. https://supplierregistration.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/dps#research Following the shortlisting exercise, a capability assessment will be issued to all those suppliers shortlisted. A formal Invitation To Tender will then follow.
