## Summary

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is seeking suppliers for the "Provision of Alcohol Data (Off Trade) - Market Engagement" contract, focusing on data services applicable to the alcoholic beverages industry. This procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline of 24th September 2021. The successful supplier will be required to provide detailed price and volume data on off-trade sales of alcoholic beverages within the UK, reflecting actual consumer spending including VAT. The contract period is set to commence on 1st January 2022 and will last until 31st December 2023.

This opportunity presents potential for growth for data collection and processing companies, particularly those specialising in retail analytics or market research. Businesses capable of collecting extensive data from a variety of off-trade retailers, such as supermarkets and off-licences, will find themselves well-positioned to compete. Furthermore, those with experience in working with governmental bodies or in the alcoholic beverage sector may have a distinct advantage in successfully bidding for this contract.

## 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. 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 ONS is looking for a Supplier who 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. The alcoholic beverages classified as off trade are those purchased for consumption at home from retail outlets such as hypermarkets, supermarkets, off licences, etc. A survey of alcohol consumption from households will not match the data requirements. This data will be required on a quarterly basis. The price supplied must reflect what the consumer actually spends, i.e. it is to include value added tax (VAT). As part of any future tender exercise, the Supplier will be required to provide a detailed description of the sources and methodology used to compile its data. The Supplier will need to show the level of detail at which the raw data are being collected as well as the coverage of outlets used. The types of organisations that should consider contacting us include: Organisations who have the capability to collect price and volume data from a wide range of Off Trade outlets.
