Tender: Analytical and Methodological Support for Social Mobility Commission State of the Nation 2027

About

The emphasis of the contract is on robust analysis, reproducibility, interpretation and selected methodological improvements rather than routine production work; the supplier will work closely with the SMC secretariat. The State of the Nation report is the Commission's main annual publication on UK-wide progress on social mobility, laid before Parliament, and uses the Social Mobility Index framework covering mobility outcomes, intermediate outcomes and drivers (current indicators available at https://social-mobility.data.gov.uk/). Bids must be submitted to [email protected] before 12:00 midday on 19th June 2026; failure to return bids by the time, date or in the required format may disqualify bidders.
