Description
Economic Statistics Centre of Excellence (ESCoE) Re-Procurement 2023-2028.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is the United Kingdom's National Statistics Institute with responsibility for the delivery of a variety of vital statistical outputs, including the UK's headline economic statistics. ONS have established a dedicated research centre of excellence in relation to economic statistics for the analysis of emerging and future issues in measuring the modern economy through improved access to economic expertise.
The Economic Statistics Centre of Excellence (ESCoE) offers capacity for fundamental methodological and conceptual work, for example on how best to address the challenge of measuring new forms of economic activity in a globalised world, meeting the needs for local, city and regional statistics, and understanding the productivity puzzle, as well as forming a platform for constructive discussion and dialogue around official statistics. The objective of the ESCoE is to feed into the development and improvement of ONS economic statistics and data processing methodologies.
The ESCoE is a very significant investment for ONS and we need to ensure value for money and cost-effectiveness in terms of ESCoE becoming a key and integral enabler of future transformation of economic statistics in the UK.
The current contract is due to expire in March 2023 as such a procurement exercise for a replacement is due to be launched in summer 2022.
A market engagement event will be hosted by ONS on Wednesday 2nd March 2022 - 13:30 via Microsoft Teams.
