## Summary

The Office for National Statistics has awarded a contract titled "Award of Public Confidence in Official Statistics 2021" for market research services within the United Kingdom. This procurement process, initiated as a selective tender, has an estimated value of £145,499 and covers a contract period from 7th July 2021 to 22nd April 2022, with an option to extend for a further two years. The award was published on 12th October 2021, following the completion of the tender period which closed on 22nd June 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in market research services. Companies specialising in public surveys or data analysis would be particularly well-suited to compete, given the project aims to gauge public opinions through either a standalone survey or as part of a larger survey initiative. Engaging in such contracts can enable businesses to expand their portfolio and establish valuable relationships with government entities like the Office for National Statistics.

## Notice

The UK Statistics Authority wishes to commission a 2021 update of the PCOS survey. The project will investigate the views of a sample of the general public, either as a standalone survey or as a module within a larger survey. The contract will cover a two-year period to deliver the 2021 iteration, with the option for the Authority to extend for a further two years to facilitate PCOS 2023 (this iteration may include minor changes).
