## Summary

The BEIS organisation, based in Salford, England, has awarded a contract for the "GOTT Digital Collaboration Solution: Discovery" project to Cyber Duck. The contract falls under the IT services category, with a total value of £118,300. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 6th July 2023, and the contract is set to run from 16th August 2023 to 16th November 2023.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses, especially those in the IT services industry with expertise in consulting, software development, and Internet support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete for such tenders. As the project focuses on developing an online engagement platform for GOTT users, businesses with experience in community-building, user research, and content delivery would find this tender alignment with their capabilities.

## Notice

Alongside its public GOV.UK presence, GOTT has a need to engage online with its users in a secure and private way. This will allow users to benefit from sharing skills, common problems/challenges/experiences, access professional networks, information and expert advice and guidance that should not be readily available to the general public. We need to develop a community of practice across government that supports the aims and goals of GOTT, allowing the community to benefit from sharing skills, common problems/challenges/experiences, access professional networks, information and expert advice and guidance that should not be readily available to the general public. Discovery phase goals 1. Fully define the problem to fix for each priority audience with internal GOTT stakeholders so we can design a service that works for users and meets business goals. This means understanding the triggers, motivations, context and behaviours of user groups. 2. Understand who we are designing for and what their expectations/needs are and the wider user journey map. 3. Understand any technical, privacy (firewalls etc) or commercial constraints. Cover any accessibility needs for users. 4. Provide GOTT with evidence for every decision they make. 5. An understanding, developed through user research, of the types of content, guidance and communication that the community would need to support GOTT's ambitions. The final report produced must be suitable for use in future tender exercises for the Alpha, Beta, Live stages.
