This opportunity falls within the research services industry, located in Newport, Wales. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with the tender scheduled to be published on 16th January 2019. Key dates include a clarifications deadline on 6th February 2019 and a submission deadline on 13th February 2019. The anticipated contract duration is from 4th March 2019 to 3rd July 2019, with a budget of £25,000 for the financial year 2019/2020. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in statistical analysis and data collection methods. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement method is an open procedure, allowing various entities to submit proposals. Companies that can demonstrate innovative approaches to enhancing data collection processes and that understand the requirements of national accounts will have a competitive advantage in this process. ## 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.
