About the buyer

The Office for National Statistics operates as a non-departmental public body accountable to the UK Statistics Authority, and buys through its own central Procurement Unit. Smaller orders are handled by delegated purchasing officers across the organisation. Larger opportunities are scrutinised by a Business Investment Group before going to a Portfolio Scrutiny Committee.

Over the past 5 years, most of the Office for National Statistics's contract awards have been in IT services, software and information systems and office and computing equipment.
