## Summary

The procurement process involves the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which aims to contract up to three service providers for Technical Consultancy and Design Services (TCaDS). This tender, classified under business services and specifically relevant to consulting and technical advisory, is situated in Newport, United Kingdom. The award stage of the procurement process is currently complete, with the contract period commencing on 16th May 2017 and concluding on 16th May 2020. The final deadline for submission was 24th February 2017, and the procurement method used was an open procedure.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in consultancy, auditing, IT services, and strategic project support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the ONS is keen to harness industry expertise to support its Census Transformation Programme. Companies with experience in providing strategic advice and those adept in market research or financial consultancy would be particularly well-suited to compete in this process.

## Notice

The Office for National Statistics (the 'Contracting Authority') has a need to appoint up to three Service Providers who will provide the Contracting Authority with the TCADS Services and further provide the Census Transformation Programme (the 'Programme') with experienced, industry-led 'intelligent client' function that will assist with providing advice and assurance during Programme planning and delivery. The Contracting Authority requires programme-level strategic and delivery advice, consultancy and insight in direct support of the Programme Senior Leadership Team. For clarity, the Contracting Authority is not looking for a partner to deliver project outputs but to provide technical expertise and experience to enable successful completion of the Programme. Further details can be found in the 'ITT' tab on the eSourcing potal - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/ons/aspx/
