## Summary

The Scottish Government has initiated a procurement process titled "CivTech 9.8 - How can technology offer everyone an individualised communications channel that is endlessly adaptable, never goes out of date and interacts with public sector services securely and in a timely way?" This project falls under the IT services category, focusing on consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement method is an open procedure, and it includes the general publication and submission of proposals electronically. The project is currently in the award stage, with a contract valued at £1,200,000 awarded to Netcompany UK Limited on 8th July 2024. This initiative, based in the UK, particularly Scotland (UKM), highlights the government's commitment to driving innovation within the public sector, aimed at enhancing public services and fostering economic growth.

The CivTech programme presents a substantial growth opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with innovative solutions to improve public sector communication channels. The Scottish Government’s focus on incorporating smaller, innovative businesses into their tech spending opens the door for new and existing firms to gain significant contracts and develop long-term relationships with a blue-chip public sector organisation. The project’s use of an Accelerator model ensures that participating businesses have the potential to develop and scale their products swiftly, creating sustainable high-growth enterprises. Companies or individuals with expertise in IT service development, especially those offering flexible, secure, and adaptable communication solutions, would be well-placed to benefit from this tender.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

CivTech's mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving Challenges that make people's lives better - and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses. 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 where they're developed further [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.

Renewal: Potentially required for the completion of work.
