This initiative is part of the Digital Support and Training Framework, focusing on enhancing digital inclusion. Located in Fareham, England, this procurement is currently at the planning stage, with a tender period ending on 31 December 2018. The procurement method is a selective process under the restricted procedure, targeting service providers across the UK to address a crucial societal need. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in digital assistance, technology provision, or social services, particularly those with experience in community outreach and support. Companies of all sizes—from local providers to larger national firms—can contribute to enhancing digital literacy and accessibility. Engaging in this project not only supports local communities but also positions businesses as key players in a prestigious national initiative, thus fostering growth and expanding their impact within the public sector. ## Notice The Office for National Statistics is running a competition on Lot 1 of the Digital Support and Training Framework for the following service: Will you help us get the "can't do digital" group online for the 2021 Census? Every census marks a once-in-a-decade opportunity to shape the future of our country. The next census in 2021 will mark some significant 'firsts' - it will be conducted mainly online and, for the first time, help will be offered for those who don't have digital skills to complete and submit their census on the internet. ONS are aiming for 75 per cent of households in England and Wales to do their census online. This is an exciting opportunity for companies promoting digital inclusion. Making the census work is a massive undertaking. It's probably the most visible public campaign held in this country. The statistics obtained are a unique snapshot in time of the population, reflecting changes in society and a level of detail unobtainable elsewhere. Every business needs census information to inform development decisions. Local and national government depend on these results to inform critical funding decisions in areas including education, transport and health. We want to offer face to face digital help in selected locations throughout the 9 weeks of the 2021 Census. Providing this help is an opportunity for businesses of all sizes - from local specialists to national concerns - to get involved in a prestigious project and have an impact on the future of our society. We are also keen to develop the service with the advice and expertise of digital assistance companies. If you can offer help for the digitally willing but unable, a place for them to complete their online questionnaire, internet-enabled equipment and a flexible approach, then we hope you will find this an interesting and exciting opportunity. We do not need digital training - most people will only need 5 to 20 minutes of help. The impact will be significant, helping those who feel left behind in a digital world to participate in a vitally important project.
