The tender period closes on 27 April 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 2 June 2017 and to run until 1 June 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the data services sector, particularly those specialising in financial analytics, data management, and statistical services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the ONS is keen to enhance its datasets with commercial insights to better serve policymakers and the public.

We are committed to improving the quality and coverage of the statistics we publish. To do this, we are seeking to access rich commercial datasets to supplement and potentially replace our traditional survey data collections. ONS will use the data to compile quarterly and annual statistics, and for ad hoc analysis and expertise to support policy makers, government stakeholders, economists, market analysts, academics and other users of financial statistics. This is a key element of ONS' development of enhanced financial accounts (UK flow of funds) to meet evolving user needs.
