Description

We seek to procure an anonymous dataset of categorized banking transactions from a panel of individuals in Great Britain. This data should include all the financial transactions of each individual, across all of their accounts. It should also include demographic markers including, but not necessarily limited to, age, gender, ethnic origin, and region. Additionally, this contract will include the delivery of two surveys per year to a sample of individuals in the data. These surveys will be designed by our project team but will be implemented and delivered by the chosen supplier. The panel should be large enough for us to undertake granular analysis of subgroups of the population determined by their demographics or behaviours. It should also be large enough to capture a meaningfully large number of individuals who may be at risk of, or suffering from, gambling-related harm. It must be as close to demographically representative as possible and include significant numbers of both gamblers and non-gamblers. We are seeking recent, as well as ongoing, data for the length of the contract. We expect to receive an initial transfer of transactional data at the beginning of the contract comprising historical data up to that date. This will be followed by regular updates of data for all individuals on the panel. We require access to the data for our own analysts, as well as for a limited set of researchers at the University of Warwick with whom we have an existing collaboration agreement, for the purpose of delivering the objectives of that agreement. The academics at the University of Warwick will not use the data to conduct analyses unconnected to their collaboration agreement with the Commission. The data will be held securely and analysed at the Commission as well as at Warwick. We require no training, data analytics or visualization tools. We intend to use the data to provide evidence for policy definition and evaluation, as well as for market tracking and insight. We will communicate this evidence both internally, within the Commission, and externally. This will include presentations at conferences as well as the publication of results from our analyses on the Commission website and in international academic journals.
