To enable these ambitions, the council has created a programme Our Cambridge that will create the operational capacity and capability to deliver the transformation. A key element of our future organisation is the need for a Digital Data and Technology Strategy and detailed implementation plan for Cambridge City Council and we are looking to partner with a supplier with a demonstrable track record to support us to define our strategic requirements as an organisation. The Councils current Digital Transformation Strategy was produced in 2018 setting out priorities and key themes that aim to build a digital Council benefit residents and take a digital by design approach. It successfully highlighted a range of opportunities and aspirations potential technologies promotes innovation and emphasises more effective use and application of data. However the action plan that supported this strategy to prioritise these opportunities address how by whom and when they should be implemented or establish what additional operational resource would be required to deliver the Strategy has lapsed since the Digital Board closed. Five years on an updated Strategy is now required that accurately reflects the rapid adoption of digital technology in 2020 and post pandemic changes in Council staff working practices how residents and communities expect to engage with u, and how service and staff needs have evolved and in what ways. In response a new five year Digital Data and Technology DDAT Strategy and implementation plan is proposed. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14ec11fb-35ef-45bb-9055-0baea3331e63 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 May 2023 | | Submission deadline | 25 May 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Jun 2023 - 31 Oct 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB2 3QJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Market | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72300000 - Data services ## Release History - 5 May 2023 at 13:02 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14ec11fb-35ef-45bb-9055-0baea3331e63 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14ec11fb-35ef-45bb-9055-0baea3331e63 5th May 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=82b2d63f-41eb-ed11-8122-005056b64545 Advert ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
