## Description
This opportunity is to develop a technology solution, starting with two use cases for the licencing of tobacco and fireworks products. The existing Tobacco Register lacks accurate and consistent data required by those that use this system, leading to inefficiencies in enforcement and support services to retailers. By providing accurate data via digital services, we can improve tracking, resource allocation, and business support while saving time and money. Additionally, the Scottish Government aims to create a new licensing system for fireworks to ensure safer use of these products including training to everyone that uses fireworks products. A solution will be highly accessible, scalable, use existing digital services and be secure while being able to extend to further licensing services in Scotland.
This needs to go way beyond a ‘website’ solution because of the complexity of the requirements, the sheer numbers of the licenses that will eventually be potentially onboarded, and the need to make the user experience as slick, efficient and personalised as possible.
