## Summary

The Scottish Government has launched a public procurement process titled "How can technology transform Building Standards Compliance to empower our citizens & contractors to produce safer and more energy efficient buildings?" The procurement falls under the services category and is at the active stage. The deadline for submissions is 28th June 2022. This opportunity is open for businesses in the UK to participate and focuses on using technology to address challenges in building standards compliance.

This tender by the Scottish Government presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses in the services sector. Companies that specialize in technology solutions related to building standards, compliance, and energy efficiency are well-suited to compete. The procurement process involves an open procedure with an emphasis on innovation and collaboration, aimed at creating sustainable, high-growth business solutions. Businesses interested in this opportunity should consider participating in the Accelerator Stage, running from 3rd October 2022 to 28th January 2023, to develop innovative products and secure contracts with public sector organisations.

## Notice

In any small construction project there is a requirement to have the work inspected by the local authority building standards team. These inspections help to ensure that the build is compliant with statutory standards and safe. These visits are requested by a notification from the Citizen/Contractor managing the build. Often these notifications are received too late in the build or not at all, resulting in additional costs, time, stress & the owners being unable to occupy their building legally. How can we use Tech to solve this, and provide data to support all parties in identifying common points of failure?

### 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.
