## Notice

The Authority is seeking tenders from the open market to conduct a survey (that will include follow up interviews) with the objective of delivering two reports; one interim, which will be evaluated by the ONS before a final report is produced. The reports will inform our approach on how statistical guidance and assurance are governed in non-ESS nations, so that we can put in place governance that can build on the existing independence and credibility of UK economic statistics and is on a par with the strongest arrangements globally. The aim of the final report is to identify the global statistical "gold standard". Additional information: This tender opportunity is being advertised via the Authority's e-tendering portal Intend.
