Tender Description

Cambridge City Council has embarked on a transformation journey that will reshape the council into a modern sustainable authority capable of meeting and responding to the demands being placed upon public services to act quickly cooperatively and within the financial frameworks and conditions prevailing at that time. To enable these ambitions, the council has created a programme Our Cambridge that will create the operational capacity and capability to deliver the transformation.

A key element of our future organisation is the need for a Digital Data and Technology Strategy and detailed implementation plan for Cambridge City Council and we are looking to partner with a supplier with a demonstrable track record to support us to define our strategic requirements as an organisation.

The Councils current Digital Transformation Strategy was produced in 2018 setting out priorities and key themes that aim to build a digital Council benefit residents and take a digital by design approach. It successfully highlighted a range of opportunities and aspirations potential technologies promotes innovation and emphasises more effective use and application of data. However the action plan that supported this strategy to prioritise these opportunities address how by whom and when they should be implemented or establish what additional operational resource would be required to deliver the Strategy has lapsed since the Digital Board closed.

Five years on an updated Strategy is now required that accurately reflects the rapid adoption of digital technology in 2020 and post pandemic changes in Council staff working practices how residents and communities expect to engage with u, and how service and staff needs have evolved and in what ways. In response a new five year Digital Data and Technology DDAT Strategy and implementation plan is proposed.
