## Summary

The Office for National Statistics has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Provision of the Family Resources Survey (FRS) 2024 - 2027". This contract falls under the industry category of research services and will be executed primarily at the location with postal code NP10 8XG, Newport, Wales. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £17,612,479.15, officially began on 6th February 2024 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2027. The tendering process reached completion with the successful award made active on 23rd January 2024 to NatCen Social Research, a large-scale organisation based in London.

This tender opens up significant business opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in research services, given the scale and importance of the Family Resources Survey in the UK. While the selective procurement method used for this contract implies that not all organisations were eligible to compete, future opportunities might be available as open tenders. Businesses focused on delivering high-quality research services, especially those capable of handling large-scale surveys, would be well-positioned to take advantage of similar contracts. Continued engagement with the Office for National Statistics could provide insights into upcoming projects that align with growth ambitions in this sector.
