## Summary

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has completed the procurement process titled "Provision of Alcohol Data (Off Trade)" under the industry category of Data Services (CPV code 72300000). This contract is focused on obtaining representative prices and volume data of alcoholic beverages purchased for personal consumption from legitimate outlets across the United Kingdom. The procurement method used is direct, via single tender action (below threshold), and the awarded contract started on 1st February 2022, running until 31st January 2026, with a project value of £49,819.16 GBP.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in data services, particularly those capable of providing reliable market pricing and volume data for alcoholic beverages. The contract, awarded to A.C. Nielsen Company Limited, a large-scale supplier, requires comprehensive data capture and reporting, making it well-suited for experienced data analytics firms. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) also had the suitability to compete, highlighting inclusive procurement practices that aim to foster growth in diverse business sectors.

## Notice

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) wishes to make estimates of household expenditure on alcoholic beverages as a component of National Accounts and is published separately in Consumer Trends, see link. https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/nationalaccounts/satelliteaccounts/bulletins/consumertrends/apriltojune2021 To assist in these estimates, it wishes to establish fully representative prices of all categories of alcoholic beverages purchased for personal consumption within the United Kingdom. Only purchases made by individuals, from legitimate outlets are to be recorded in the estimates. The ONS will combine this price data with volume data received from HM Customs and Excise to derive final estimates of household expenditure on alcoholic beverages in the UK. The contractor will supply price and volume data to the ONS to fulfil the price requirement of these estimates. This data should represent all Off Trade sales of alcoholic beverages by organisations directly to the households, non household expenditure is not to be included. A survey of alcohol consumption from households will not match the data requirements.
