## Description
ONS is seeking to procure a feasibility study on the usability of local authority or commercial data holdings to inform our ambition to create person level data sets, and population statistics on disability and unpaid care for the UK. Little is known about the potential of those data holdings may have to offer to produce statistics on unpaid carers and/or disabled people. This procurement intends to enable a knowledge transfer to aid in the development of strategies to produce high quality and useful official statistics about our population and society that decision makers, businesses and citizens so urgently need.   A non-exhaustive list of data sources that can be considered in this exercise include: needs assessment forms, carer’s assessments and support plans, data generated via provision of care services, disability support services and grant registrations, continuation of care services, and impairment registration to enable service provision.
