Notice Information

Notice Title

Digital Design and User Experience Prototype

Notice Description

The Future Cities Catapult is a technology and innovation centre set up by Government to advance innovation, to grow UK companies to make cities better. In talking to cities and industry about areas where they want and need to innovate, the Catapult has identified a strong demand for new ways of doing land-use planning. There is a strong central Government push for city administrations to better facilitate housing and other development as well as engage and involve neighbourhoods and citizens in the planning process. These drivers and moves towards a more 'zonal' plan-making approach mean that a data-driven, transparent and digitally-delivered is within reach. The Catapult has developed a 'Future of Planning' programme to: * demystify the planning process; * understand which elements of the process can be enhanced through data, design and digital tools; * develop concepts, use cases, prototypes and speculative film that demonstrate the future fo planning; and * quantify the inefficiencies in the current system and value new ways of doing planning. As part of this programme Future Cities Catapult has identified, through our 'State of the Art research', our initial phase of user research and our internal R&D, a large number of 'Digital Planning Concepts' that could tweak or transform the planning system. A separate concept testing phase will reduce ten Digital Planning Concepts into a shortlist of three. We wish to commission a company to develop the priority concept or concepts into a variety of tangible outputs including: * User interface outline designs * Usability testing * User interface design feature development * Usability testing * Online protoype (potentially 'working' but most likely user experience) * Supporting technical specification * Supporting film/design content The Supplier will provide the following deliverables: * Initial technical assessment of three priority concepts with reference to the deliverability of user experience and/or working prototypes, including programme to deliver; * First draft of storyboards/UI wireframes for user experience and/or working prototypes; * First Draft of Prototype(s); * Usability testing; * Revised prototype(s) and supporting design/film content; and * Technical specification. Additional information: To express interest in the requirement and download the ITT please visit www.fccprocurement.org.uk. New suppliers will be required to register. The reference for this opportunity is AJ4F-MWPA6K. All communication must be routed through this portal.
