This procurement falls within the business services category, specifically relating to law, marketing, consulting, and auditing, and is taking place in the United Kingdom. The tender submission deadline is 24th February 2017, and the contract period will commence on 16th May 2017, lasting until 16th May 2020. The procurement method is an open procedure, which allows for a wide range of participants. This tender presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms, particularly those with expertise in delivering strategic advice and support in programme planning and delivery. Businesses offering services in areas such as auditing, IT consultancy, market research, and financial consultancy would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the nature of the services required, firms looking to enhance their portfolios in government contracts should consider this opportunity for growth and collaboration with a key public sector organisation. ## Notice The Office for National Statistics (the 'Contracting Authority') has a need to appoint up to three Service Providers who will provide the Contracting Authority with the TCADS Services and further provide the Census Transformation Programme (the 'Programme') with experienced, industry-led 'intelligent client' function that will assist with providing advice and assurance during Programme planning and delivery. The Contracting Authority requires programme-level strategic and delivery advice, consultancy and insight in direct support of the Programme Senior Leadership Team. For clarity, the Contracting Authority is not looking for a partner to deliver project outputs but to provide technical expertise and experience to enable successful completion of the Programme.
