## Summary

The Scottish Government has led a public procurement process titled "CivTech Challenge 10.4," which focuses on improving the seamless management and sharing of data across organisations with separate legal obligations, potentially involving AI and automated data analysis. This initiative is part of the General Public Services category and is situated in the UK region. The procurement process employed an open procedure, and the procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract awarded to Verifoxx Ltd on 16th July 2025, following the procurement tender initiated on 30th July 2024. The award value amounts to £595,594.01. This initiative illustrates the dedication to service delivery and innovation in public data handling, aiming to enhance public sector decision-making based on up-to-date information.

The CivTech Challenge presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises looking to introduce innovation in public services. The process encourages participation from entities of all scales to submit solutions to public sector challenges, providing a platform for businesses to showcase their technological capabilities and drive innovation. This is especially beneficial for companies specialising in data management, AI applications, and automated systems, as the challenge focuses on technological integrations that bolster public good outcomes. With a strong focus on co-production with the citizen and rapid development through an Accelerator model, the CivTech initiative offers businesses a chance to not only grow locally by securing contracts with prominent public sector bodies but also expand globally by addressing challenges of widespread relevance.

## Notice

There are thousands of requests for data to be shared across multiple organisations in the Scottish Public Sector, feeding a wide range of different statistics and analysis which in turn provide the evidence to inform policy and operational decisions. In order to make sure regular decisions are informed by the latest information the process might be more automated for gaining approval for reusing public data and demonstrating this approval for each subsequent update.

### 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.
