## Summary

The Scottish Government has launched a public procurement process titled "CivTech 9.2 - How can technology help empower women to better understand menopause and access the right support for their individual needs at the right time?" This initiative falls under the 'services' industry category, specifically IT services including consulting, software development, internet, and support. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure and has reached the award stage, with contracts awarded on 23rd July 2024. The focus is to provide tailored support for women experiencing menopause, aiming to mitigate its impact on both personal and professional lives. The contracts have been awarded to Adora Digital Health Ltd and Hello Lumino Limited, with key operations based in the UK region called UKM (Scotland), featuring a substantial contract value of £973,675.74.

This procurement presents numerous opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those engaged in health technology, consulting, and support. The CivTech initiative fosters collaboration between the public sector and private innovation, encouraging the development of cutting-edge solutions aimed at improving public services. SMEs, as evidenced by the successful bidders, are particularly well-placed to benefit, given the government's commitment to directing a significant portion of its tech expenditure towards smaller, innovative enterprises. This offers businesses a unique pathway to secure public sector contracts and develop scalable products that can potentially serve a global market.

## Notice

Over 50% of Scotland's Population will experience the menopause and while a minority may not experience any symptoms, many more will find that it impacts their lives and a significant proportion will experience severe and negative impacts affecting their personal and professional lives. This Challenge seeks to empower women to access the right support for their needs, by helping them to understand and identify the best options for individualised support; understand which self-help measures may be useful and to manage symptoms in the workplace; and to access medical support.

### 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.
