## Summary

The Scottish Government, located in Glasgow, United Kingdom, is seeking IT services to enhance its capability in collecting, measuring, analysing, and reporting evidence to demonstrate the impact of various projects. The procurement falls under the services category and specifically pertains to IT consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This tender process, identified as OCDS-h6vhtk-02f8e4, is in the 'Award' stage, with a contract awarded on 3rd October 2022 to PortF.io for a value of £104,000. The project aims to create a streamlined and user-friendly solution for predicting and tracking the impacts of public, third, and private sector initiatives, providing economic, societal, cultural, and environmental benefits. The initiative is part of CivTech, a programme by the Scottish Government’s Digital Directorate, and seeks innovative solutions from smaller businesses to enhance public services and stimulate the Scottish economy.

This tender represents an exceptional opportunity for businesses involved in IT services and project management consultancy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in technology and innovation stand to benefit greatly, as CivTech deliberately ensures that a significant portion of its technology expenditure is directed toward SMEs. The CivTech Innovation Flow model encourages the rapid development of practical and impactful products through collaborative public-private partnerships. Winners of this challenge will have the opportunity to secure further contracts, dependent on the success of the Minimum Viable Product and additional funding. This initiative not only promises business growth but also the potential to expand solutions on a global scale, as many challenges addressed by CivTech are universally relevant.

## Notice

Across the public, third and private sectors, organisations and programmes need to model the impacts of projects being considered, and once projects are operational to evidence the actual impacts they make. This is required because establishing those impacts, and the resulting value for money are key requirements for all initiatives, large or small. Organisations and programmes are often multi-sector and multi-disciplinary, with a rich breadth of primary and secondary outcomes across a wide range of areas including economic, societal, cultural and environmental benefits. This Challenge seeks a robust, streamlined and user friendly way that enables us to predict impact when planning future projects, and then track the developing outputs and outcomes to evidence and demonstrate the full 'in the round' impact.

The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Development model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you - whether you're an individual, team or company - it's an opportunity to take on a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You'll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here's the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren't 'single organisation' problems - most exist worldwide. CivTech Sprints: open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond to them. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage to be held between Monday 14th February - Friday 25th February 2022 where they're developed further. The best go through to the MVP Development Stage, to be held between Monday 14th March 2022 - Friday 3rd June 2022 where you will have 12 weeks to work collaboratively with your Challenge Sponsor to develop a Minimum Viable Product. From there may be an opportunity is for further contracts to develop your solution through to a commercially viable solution. Please note that with this Challenge, the opportunity for pre-commercial or follow-on contracts with the Challenge Sponsor, is not only dependent on the suitability and success of the MVP produced during the development stage; the opportunity for further contracts will be dependent on the Challenge Sponsor being able to secure further funding, which is not guaranteed. We welcome all ideas and applications, and particularly encourage proposals that can make the most of the Exploration and Development stages.
