## Summary

Glasgow City Council has initiated an open procedure for the procurement of services under the title "CivTech 10.5 - How might we use technology to better understand the supply and demand of digital economy skills at the regional level - both today and in the future." This tender, which falls under the industry category of digital economy skills, aims to address the digital and technical skills gap in Scotland, focusing on the Glasgow City Region. Key dates include a submission deadline on 10th September 2024 at 12:00 PM, with the award period starting immediately after the closing date. The value of the contract is estimated at £650,000, with services to be rendered in Edinburgh.

Businesses specialising in digital technology, data analysis, and workforce training stand to gain significant opportunities from this tender. The contract is well-suited for innovative firms capable of leveraging technology to analyse market needs and identify skill gaps. By participating, businesses can help shape regional policies while also expanding their market presence. The CivTech initiative encourages the involvement of smaller, agile companies, providing a robust platform to collaborate with public sector entities and scale solutions that could have broader, even global applications.

## Notice

Action needs to be taken to address the digital and technical skills gap in Scotland. On the precipice of a transformative decade for industries, there remains uncertainty about exactly what type of digital skills will be required including the dramatic difference AI could make. This Challenge will better understand the changing needs of employers and recruiters in the market as well as the available talent emerging through education and training provision. In particular, there is little granular data available at Glasgow City Region level on both the supply and demand of professional digital skills. By using technology to understand the data and identify the gaps it will inform policy and the necessary interventions required across the Glasgow City Region.

### 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.
