Brief Description of Requirement:

Acas is a non-departmental public body (NDPB) of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). We provide free and impartial advice to employers, employees and their representatives on:
• employment rights
• best practice and policies
• resolving workplace conflict

As part of our business planning process, Acas has identified data and insight as one of its core objectives. Data and analysis is seen as a key enabler to success, supporting the drive to be an organisation that operates effectively to deliver its vision of making working life better for everyone in Britain.

Good quality data and information, handled well and available quickly will enable Acas to develop services tailored more closely to specific user groups. Implementation of a data strategy will help Acas to meet its 2020-23 business plan objective 3b to 'use insight to tailor our services more effectively to specific audiences' and enable the organisation to make effective evidence-based decisions in support of business planning, using data to validate assumptions on which proposals are founded. Additionally, good quality data and information provide value to others outside of Acas (e.g. BEIS), in line with Aim 3 'influencing employment policy and debate'; and our ambition 'to increase our influence on public policy and the world of work.

Acas is therefore looking for external analytical support to develop an overarching data strategy. Acas require Expertise to help inform and shape the vision for the use of data and insights in Acas. We are looking for analysts to work with us to turn our ambitions into a clear vision that recognises the size and scope of the issue which we're trying to address. With recommendations on how to get from where we are now to where we want to be, with particular attention to the near term priorities.

The contract duration shall be for a period of approximately three months, from September to December 2020.

For full details of the requirement please refer to the Invitation to Quote documentation available to download from Contracts Finder and the Delta eSourcing Portal.

This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the ITQ document.
