This procurement falls under the research services category and is located in Newport, Wales. The award process was initiated on March 4, 2019, with the contract running from that date until July 3, 2019. The open procurement method has been employed for this project, which had important deadlines including the tender submission due by February 14, 2019, and the contract award during the week commencing February 25, 2019. This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in data analysis and economic assessments related to international trade and travel expenditures. Companies capable of providing innovative solutions to improve data collection methodologies and processes for national statistics would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with this contract can facilitate business growth through collaboration with a prominent government body and expand capabilities within the public sector. ## Notice The International Passenger Survey (IPS) is crucial for measuring the impact of travel expenditure on the UK, with key inputs going into the National Accounts, most noticeably the balance of payments and household expenditure statistics. The IPS captures data on expenditure in the UK by visiting overseas residents and data on expenditure overseas by UK residents visiting abroad. These data are used by National Accounts in the compilation of Trade in Services estimates. The last review of the expenditure data that the IPS delivered to National Accounts was in 2009; a long time ago given the importance of the expenditure data. Objective: To deliver a report that reviews the expenditure data collected from the IPS, assessing the extent to which the data captures the requirements needed for the National Accounts and stakeholders, and recommending new or improved methods, processes and systems for meeting these requirements. We anticipate that the contract will run for a period of 3-4 months from 4/03/2019 - 03/07/2019. The timetable is as follows: * Publish tender: 17th January 2019 * Clarifications deadline: 7th February 2019 * Tender Deadline: 14th February 2019 * Tender Evaluation: w/c 18th February 2019 * Award Contract: w/c 25th February 2019 * Commencement of Services: 4th March 2019 The tender will be published via ONS' e-tendering portal, In-Tend.
