Scoping exercise for a London Office of Technology and Innovation

Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done The scoping exercise will explore the potential for London’s public services to co-ordinate innovation efforts in data, digital and technology. It will establish the business case and potential operating model for a London Office of Technology and Innovation (LOTI). The study will find the appetite for and gain to be accrued by the GLA and the London boroughs from existing and future workstreams. LOTI will amplify existing efforts and create new areas of joint working in the transformation of public services. The goal is to have more effective and efficient services in London designed around community need. Problem to Be Solved London has many good examples of collaborative applications of data, digital and technology to improve decision making and public services, and drive urban innovation. LOTI should increase sharing of good practice. It should encourage the development and adoption of common standards and approaches from data to service design. This avoids duplication and boosts innovation. LOTI will present a stronger ‘demand picture’ from London’s public services to be presented to the London technology ecosystem. Finally, as new and disruptive business models emerge, London’s public services need to be able to anticipate and be ready for future technology developments. Who Are the Users The users will be the Greater London Authority, London Councils, and participating London Borough authorities. Participation of other public service authorities in London in a LOTI would also be welcome. These public bodies are responsible for the delivery of a wider range of services, as well as the development and management of London’s communities and built environment. Early Market Engagement Work Already Done Preparatory discussions have taken place between the Greater London Authority and London Councils Existing Team The Intelligence Unit in the Greater London Authority holds lead responsibility for the Smart Cities and City Data agenda.
