What is being bought

Published requirement description

The supplier will deliver small area estimates of activity and inactivity for MSOAs and LSOAs for adults for Active Lives survey year 2024-25. This will include demographic breakdowns of these small area estimates by age, gender, disability, socio-economic status and ethnicity. The supplier will also produce a technical report detailing the methods used.

The main purpose of the work is to enable partners such as Active Partnerships and Local Authorities to have more detailed insights into local levels of activity and inactivity than are possible through direct Active Lives Survey estimates, in order to target their resources effectively.
