## Description
This Pre-Tender Market Engagement (PTME) seeks to inform a potential procurement for Suppliers to deliver specific tranches of work relating to the English Indices of Deprivation.
• Tranche 1 (T1): Direct refresh/update of the English Indices of Deprivation 2025 release (IoD25) for delivery in 2028.
• Tranche 2 (T2): Review of the Indices conceptual framework, its definitions, domain weights, balance between economic and non-economic measures and broader policy alignment.
• Tranche 3 (T3): Feasibility study on the challenges and opportunities in acquiring or producing data on wealth and assets.
All tranches will run concurrently. T1 is independent; Suppliers delivering T1 cannot undertake T2 or T3. T2 and T3 may be delivered by the same or different Suppliers.
PTME objectives:
• define the requirement in clear terms;
• assess the feasibility of the proposed requirement;
• identify optimal delivery approach;
• test market capacity to deliver, and identify potential risks involved;
• enable early supplier engagement and queries;
The Indices comprise a unique set of measures that assess relative deprivation at a small-area level across England, using Lower-layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs), broadly comparable to postcodes. The suite includes 10 indices measuring different dimensions of deprivation, including income, employment, health, education, skills and training, crime, barriers to housing and local services, and the living environment.
The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) combines seven of these domains into a single overall measure of multiple deprivation and is the official measure of relative deprivation in England. Supplementary indices also produced include the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) and the Income Deprivation Affecting Older People (IDAOPI).
The Indices are designated as Official Accredited Statistics and are managed and published by statisticians at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). The English Indices of Deprivation 2025 (IoD25) is the latest release of these statistics (Available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/english-indices-of-deprivation-2025)
The Indices are an important tool used by national and local organisations to measure spatial disparity across England, inform resource allocation, support policy development, and assess funding bids alongside other metrics and local insights.
The IMD, and its individual domains, are area-based measures designed to identify places with a relative concentration of multiple forms of deprivation, rather than to identify individuals experiencing deprivation.
Data is aggregated and published at LSOA level. LSOAs are a standard statistical geography produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for the reporting of small-area statistics, designed to divide the country into areas of broadly equal population size. Each LSOA has an average population of approximately 1,00 residents, or around 650 households. At the tim...
