Buyer: SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Current stage: Tender OCID: ocds-h6vhtk-034204 [View canonical contract page](https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-034204) [Download OCDS JSON](https://d3tenders.com/contract/ocds-h6vhtk-034204.json) ## Summary The Scottish Government is inviting tenders for "CivTech 7 - Challenge 7.9," which seeks innovative solutions to enhance how organisations and volunteers operate while measuring their impact across Scotland. This procurement falls under the research and development services industry, with a total contract value of £350,000. The current stage of the procurement process is active, with submissions due by 28 June 2022. Interested parties will need to utilise the electronic submission method via the Public Contracts Scotland portal to register interest and submit their proposals. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in technology development, consultancy services, and social innovation. Companies that can deliver effective IT solutions or engage in community development are well-suited to compete. With the Scottish Government's commitment to fostering smaller, innovative enterprises, successful bidders will not only help tackle pressing social challenges, such as domestic violence, but also contribute to an eco-system supporting sustainable business growth across Scotland. ## Notice The scale of violence against women in Scotland is huge with over 64,000 incidents of domestic abuse and over 2,200 rapes reported annually; mostly perpetrated by men against women with many more going unreported. 25% of Police Scotland's time/budget is spent on addressing domestic abuse alone. This Challenge is about using technology to support and aid local community groups and volunteers to grow and sustain projects which engage men as allies to help end violence against women and girls, permitting such community work to be efficiently led, overseen, and supported by the limited staff at White Ribbon Scotland.

CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen. Part of the Scottish Government's Digital Directorate, CivTech's approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better. Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in. The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator 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. In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage which runs from the 15th of August to the 2nd of September 2022, where they are then developed further [and for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator - a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech's unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world. The Accelerator Stage will run from the 3rd of October 2022 to the 28th of January 2023.
