BEIS would like to purchase a data set which provides business characteristics information for businesses within England and Wales. High coverage is important and particular interest should be paid to businesses operating and registered to non-domestic hereditaments. We expect data to be provided at a site level, but it must be possible to aggregate up to company/organisation level and to parent company level. Variables of particular interest are address information, employee numbers, turnover and business sector (SIC). Where possible data for these variables should be provided as a time series from 2007. The contract is to cover three years' worth of new data; 2016, 2017 and 2018 and historical data back to 2007. Data are to be provided to the department at the earliest sensible time and the contract will cover the usage of these data for a minimum of 3 years, from the beginning of the contract. The budget available for the contract is £100k - £105k.For background information, the full specification and further information on this project please see the ITT.
