Description
The ONS is looking for a Supplier to provide daily footfall data by region and footfall category. From July 2025 ONS intend to release a monthly publication alongside our weekly data updates, so the publication text can detail the economic and social trends occurring during the previous month (e.g. July 2025). This is to reduce any delays in the reporting of these trends. Many existing indicators have already been moved to this format, with monthly data being provided for historic back series where possible.
The reprocured data must provide measurements of daily footfall data which can be aggregated to inform weekly and monthly totals, or provided in the format of weekly and monthly data. The data required is:
• Daily or 'Weekly and Monthly' UK footfall by category type.
• Daily or 'Weekly and Monthly' UK footfall by ITL 1 region.
• Daily or 'Weekly and Monthly' UK footfall by ITL 1 region and category from July 2023.
If the Supplier does not send the Contracting Authority the raw data, the following measurements must be included in the weekly dataset:
• Daily week-on-week UK footfall by category type.
• Daily week-on-week UK footfall by ITL 1 region.
• Daily month-on-month UK footfall by category type.
• Daily month-on-month UK footfall by ITL 1 region.
Historical data is required for the previous two years and must be provided as part of the initial dataset.
Date of monthly publications are 17th of July and 21st of August.
