SIC and SOC coding for Graduate Outcomes survey

HESA (part of Jisc) are seeking a supplier to support the annual coding of occupational information. This will include Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), along with some additional information to supplement this. The supply of this data will support our role as the designated data body for the HE sector, ensuring high quality, consistent classification of employer data. • This notice is issued for transparency and advance market awareness only.

Final values may differ materially depending on funding availability, scope refinement, and internal approvals. • All dates and timelines included in this notice are provisional and subject to change at the discretion of Jisc.
