## Summary

The Office for National Statistics bought detailed airline and flight data to support the design of its International Passenger Survey sample, based on selected flights. The requirement is a data service for geographical analysis, rather than the provision of flights, travel management or aviation operations. It concerns the supply of detailed information about airline activity that can be used to select and analyse flights for statistical research. The buying organisation is the Office for National Statistics, a central government public authority based in Newport. The procurement covers the data required for the ONS’s analytical work; the source does not identify a separate delivery site or operational location for providing the service. This is relevant to specialist aviation-data providers, flight-information businesses and data suppliers supporting official statistics or geographical research.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure described as unknown. It comprised one lot. OAG Aviation Worldwide Limited was awarded the service, with the contract signed on 24 July 2026. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2029. Its value is £112,293.72 excluding VAT, or £134,752.46 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated procurement category is services, classified as data services. The available outcome records the selected supplier and the contract period; the source does not set out a separate award date or detailed evaluation weighting. This is therefore an awarded, below-threshold purchase of airline data rather than a current bidding opportunity.

This procurement indicates established demand from the Office for National Statistics for specialist airline data that supports survey sample design and geographical analysis. A credible future supplier would need reliable access to detailed flight and airline information, the ability to identify and distinguish selected flights, and data that can support structured statistical and geographic analysis. Providers should be able to maintain consistent data quality across a multi-year service, supply information in a usable form, and support an analytical public-sector customer’s requirements. The awarded supplier is a large aviation-data business, showing that scale, specialist market coverage and an established capability in flight information are relevant competitive strengths. Businesses with comparable aviation datasets, analytical expertise and delivery capacity should monitor this buyer’s related requirements.
