## Summary

The London Borough of Sutton is conducting a public procurement process for the "Digital Town Hub Proof of Concept," aimed at enhancing local engagement and economic growth in the borough. This project, classified under the office and computing machinery category, has a total contract value of £170,000. The award has been successfully made to Loqiva Ltd, with the contract period starting from 6th April 2021 to 5th April 2022. The tender period concluded on 3rd March 2021, and the award notice was published on 28th April 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to contribute to digital community platforms, particularly those that specialise in technology solutions for local engagement initiatives. Businesses experienced in deploying real-time digital systems, community-focused services, or those with a strong grasp of local economic support mechanisms would be well-positioned to benefit from the outcomes of this project. The pilot programme will be implemented across selected high street locations in Croydon, such as South Norwood, Purley, and Thornton Heath, thus further stimulating local business participation and growth.

## Notice

A Digital Town Hub will provide communities in the borough a locally managed online web and app based platform enhanced by real time footfall data to support social cohesion, resident engagement and local economic growth. As a result of the pandemic there has been a sharp focus on accelerating and supporting economic recovery and renewal There is a particular need now to identify potential ways in which to directly support local independent retailers within district centre hubs Through engagement with a variety of internal and external stakeholders, it was determined that a real-time digital platform would allow businesses and residents to engage more directly on a hyperlocal basis, with the addition of accessibility of this information for the local authority and BID managers to enable more targeted intervention and support. The objective of this use case is to deliver a pilot programme that allows the SLP IoT project to test the digital town hub concept and refine the scope and technical details before rolling out to other local high street locations across Croydon and the other SLP partner boroughs. A one year pilot is required to provide a proof of concept in order to develop a fully scoped requirement to cover other high street locations across the SLP boroughs. The pilot will be delivered across 2-3 high street locations in Croydon. These locations are currently planned to be South Norwood, Purley and Thornton Heath. Additional information: 12 months post application going live The contact will expire 12 months post application going live and there is a possible extension Period of 6 months.
