## Summary

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has initiated a tender process for the "Provision of Online Job Adverts Data." This procurement falls under the recruitment services category, specifically targeting the data services industry. The procurement is currently in the open tender stage, with submissions accepted until 17 December 2021. The contract period is set to commence from 1 February 2022 and will run until 31 January 2023, with delivery addresses located across the United Kingdom and beyond.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in data collection, analysis, and reporting, particularly those with experience in handling large datasets related to job market trends. Companies capable of providing comprehensive data on online job adverts, including detailed classifications and the ability to publish such data, would be well-positioned to compete. Furthermore, the ONS reserves the right to award multiple contracts, potentially opening doors for several suppliers in this project.

## Notice

ONS is seeking to develop partnerships with organisations that hold information about online job adverts in the UK. The organisations would be required to provide data which covers all currently existing or active online job adverts via portal access, with a minimum of 100000 online job adverts per annum. A back-series of previous existing or active online job adverts going back at least to 2018 and preferably earlier, with substantial coverage of the whole UK online job advert market preferably as individual records for ONS processing and analysis, or alternatively to agreed aggregated levels will also need to be provided. If provided as individual records, the data will need to include the following variables at a minimum: Job description Low-level geography classification (Local Authority at a minimum, or information to be able to derive this in-house) Job title If provided at an aggregate level, the data will need to be provided at Local Authority level as a minimum. Additional variables relating to job adverts which would also be useful include: Additional geographic labels such as Travel to Work Areas, Local Enterprise Partnerships Standard industry classifications Standard occupation classifications The skills required for the job The original posting date or the length of posting I.e., how long the advert is live, as well as information to identify an advert which has been amended/re-advertised Salary We are looking to use the data as a proxy measure for changing labour demand by producing a measure of online job adverts split by flexible sub-national levels, including at Local Authority. We would be looking to make this series publicly available on our website as part of a regular release. As well as publishing aggregate information, we are also interested to understand if organisations would support the sharing of microdata across government departments, as well as making other aggregated series publicly available too, such as skills breakdowns. Ability to publish the data is a minimum requirement and permission to publish longer will attract a higher technical score. As a result of this tender exercise the Authority reserves the right to award more than one contract. If the Authority exercises this right, then the second award would be to the supplier that scored the second highest combined Commercial and Technical score. This award would be subject to relevant funding being made available and further discussion with the winning suppliers regarding being able to merge datasets for an aggregated output or whether the Authority would publish separately.
