## Summary

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has completed the procurement process for the provision of safeguarding support in schools during the Childhood Survey, awarding the contract to the NSPCC. This contract, under the classification of "Other services," falls within the services industry category and covers multiple regions across the UK, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK, and UKL. The procurement process followed a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified under Regulation 72.1 to extend the current contract with NSPCC. The contract, valued at £96,000, was signed on 1 January 2025, marking the completion of this procurement stage.

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing safeguarding services, particularly those experienced in collaborating with national agencies like the ONS. Large-scale organisations or those looking to scale up by connecting with reputable entities, such as NSPCC, may benefit from understanding similar future opportunities. Businesses involved in public services or specialising in child welfare could find lucrative partnerships by aiming to fulfil such specialised roles in educational establishments across the UK. This tender also highlights the potential for growth in the safeguarding services market, encouraging providers to develop capabilities that cater to comprehensive nationwide surveys and programmes.
