ONS Case Study

Census 2021 overview

The ONS is the UK’s largest independent producer of official statistics and recognised national statistical institute. It carries out the Census survey every 10 years. The Census is the largest statistical exercise the ONS undertakes – and 2021 was the biggest ever.

It looks on paper like an impossibly complex task. Yet, it was successfully planned and carried out by Granby and the ONS. The ONS started to publish Census insights in June 2022.

  • 97% completed on time, in full (94% target)
  • 52,000,000 items into Granby
  • 2,800+ pallets of stock held in warehouse
  • 22,000,000 items collated into kits
  • 85,000 items despatched
  • 21,000 delivery stops
  • 269,725 delivery miles
  • Sustainable – zero items sent to landfill
We couldn't have conducted such a complex operation without a wide range of partners and would like to acknowledge the support given. We thank all our suppliers for helping to make Census 2021 a success.

Social Value

Meeting the requirements of the Social Value Framework in public sector procurement.

Adding value to the work we do is part of our philosophy. We take great pride in being able to use our experience, creativity and technology to help clients achieve the results they need. A concept like Social Value, which aims to make public sector expenditure go further and do more, fits the way we work.

The support of the formalised framework is welcome, as our engagement with it is an ongoing workflow across all the themes, which will continually reveal opportunities to improve our offering.

  • COVID-19 recovery
  • Tackling economic inequality
  • Fighting climate change
  • Equal opportunities
  • Wellbeing
  • Information Security

To an SME, a public sector organisation can leave a lasting legacy, far greater than a successful project. It ensures environmental, economic and social aspects are considered in the decision making process.
