## Summary

The Scottish Government has awarded the contract for 'CivTech 7 - Challenge 7.9 - How can technology enable organisations and volunteers to organise while expanding and evidencing the positive impact of their work across Scotland?' in the services category. The procurement process was a tender with the main aim to use technology to support and aid local community groups and volunteers in ending violence against women and girls. The procurement stage progression included an Accelerator Stage running from the 3rd of October 2022 to the 28th of January 2023.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses interested in research and development services, consultancy services, IT services, consulting, software development, and other community services to engage in innovative projects addressing social issues. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide tech solutions aligned with the challenge of ending violence against women in Scotland would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process led by the Scottish Government's CivTech programme.

## 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.

### 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 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.
