Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has awarded a contract for developing a technology solution focused on streamlining the licensing process for tobacco and fireworks products in Scotland. The awarded contract, valued at £1,255,000, was given to Zudu and was signed on 4th July 2024. The initiative, titled "CivTech 9.9," falls under the IT services category, emphasising consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The primary goal is to improve data accuracy and consistency within the Tobacco Register and to develop a new licensing system for fireworks. This project aims to enhance tracking, resource allocation, and business support, while ensuring safer usage of fireworks through proper training. The process involved an open procedure, with the procurement stage now complete, located in the UKM region.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those capable of developing scalable and secure digital solutions. Companies that excel in data management, software development, and digital transformation will find this project aligns well with their expertise. By participating, businesses can establish a strong relationship with the Scottish Government, gain exposure, and contribute to public sector innovation. The CivTech programme's collaborative approach between the public and private sectors promises a fertile ground for growth and further business opportunities, particularly for smaller, innovative firms aiming to make a positive impact on public services.

Notice Title

CivTech 9.9 - How can technology and data create a streamlined experience to help people and businesses across Scotland get access to training, guidance, support and approval for the licences they need, starting with tobacco and fireworks products?

Notice Description

This opportunity is to develop a technology solution, starting with two use cases for the licencing of tobacco and fireworks products. The existing Tobacco Register lacks accurate and consistent data required by those that use this system, leading to inefficiencies in enforcement and support services to retailers. By providing accurate data via digital services, we can improve tracking, resource allocation, and business support while saving time and money. Additionally, the Scottish Government aims to create a new licensing system for fireworks to ensure safer use of these products including training to everyone that uses fireworks products. A solution will be highly accessible, scalable, use existing digital services and be secure while being able to extend to further licensing services in Scotland. This needs to go way beyond a 'website' solution because of the complexity of the requirements, the sheer numbers of the licenses that will eventually be potentially onboarded, and the need to make the user experience as slick, efficient and personalised as possible.
