    Brief

    The Social Mobility Commission (SMC), an independent statutory body, is seeking a supplier to provide analytical support for its 2027 State of the Nation report, with a potential extension to 2028. This role focuses on delivering robust statistical analysis, methodological development, quality assurance, and expert interpretation of social mobility data across the UK. The successful supplier will work collaboratively with the SMC secretariat to enhance existing analytical capabilities, improve reproducibility of findings, and implement targeted methodological improvements. The work will draw on the Social Mobility Index framework, which encompasses mobility outcomes, intermediate outcomes, and drivers of social mobility. Rather than routine production work, this contract emphasizes analytical excellence and strategic interpretation. The State of the Nation report is the Commission's flagship publication, presented annually to Parliament, making this an opportunity to directly influence UK policy on social mobility. Familiarity with the SMC data explorer (https://social-mobility.data.gov.uk/) and social mobility indicators is advantageous.
