What is being bought

How can we use technology to create the most efficient and secure supply chain for public sector procurements, especially in regard to making the requirements, standards and rules of public sector procurement as efficient to establish as possible, both for the private sector businesses applying for contracts, and the organisation assessing those applications; focusing on two initial use cases - cyber security, design and accessibility. Supply chains, integral to all organizations, pose a significant risk due to their size, complexity, and the potential of severely disrupted services if compromised. Currently, securing supply chains is resource-intensive and often requires manual efforts from specialist staff which can cause issues - particularly for SMEs. If we can build a single, effective and efficient system, we could dispense with the current practice of creating single-use questionnaires for each and every procurement exercise. This would have significant benefits including resource and time savings, for both procuring and tendering organisations. Currently, we do not have this: existing tools provide some data analysis, but further solutions could enhance this process. While cyber security and accessibility have been noted as the initial use cases, the intention is that a successful solution would incorporate all procurement requirements – for example accessibility, usability and design standards.

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.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Procurement consultancy services (79418000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7913,7404 median · 30.9 average (5,803 of 13,740 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,507 of 13,740 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Same buyer543 median · 4.8 average (31 of 54 with a bid count)1.7 average (32 of 54 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKM6194 median · 19.5 average (358 of 619 with a bid count)4.1 average (405 of 619 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

        "description": "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.\nCivTech 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.\nPart 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.\nAcross 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.\nThe 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.\nIn 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.\nPlease visit our website for information on CivTech and how to get involved\nPlease visit our website for information on CivTech and how to get involved:\nhttps://www.civtech.scot/how-to-apply-civtech-9\nhttps://www.civtech.scot/civtech-9-challenge-5-effective-and-secure-supply-chain-procurements",

    "description": "How can we use technology to create the most efficient and secure supply chain\nfor public sector procurements, especially in regard to making the requirements,\nstandards and rules of public sector procurement as efficient to establish as\npossible, both for the private sector businesses applying for contracts, and the\norganisation assessing those applications; focusing on two initial use cases - cyber\nsecurity, design and accessibility.\nSupply chains, integral to all organizations, pose a significant risk due to their size,\ncomplexity, and the potential of severely disrupted services if compromised.\nCurrently, securing supply chains is resource-intensive and often requires manual\nefforts from specialist staff which can cause issues - particularly for SMEs.\nIf we can build a single, effective and efficient system, we could dispense with the\ncurrent practice of creating single-use questionnaires for each and every\nprocurement exercise. This would have significant benefits including resource and\ntime savings, for both procuring and tendering organisations.\nCurrently, we do not have this: existing tools provide some data analysis, but\nfurther solutions could enhance this process.\nWhile cyber security and accessibility have been noted as the initial use cases, the\nintention is that a successful solution would incorporate all procurement\nrequirements – for example accessibility, usability and design standards.\nPlease visit our website for information on CivTech and how to get involved.
