UK SBS IT18190 UKRI Innovate UK Data Visualisation Application Phase 2

Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done Innovate UK is a council member of UKRI, operating as the UK’s main innovation agency. This work is aimed at facilitating a visual understanding at geo spatial level of the organisation’s outreach, as well as enabling internal stakeholders to use simple data analytical tools to map the impact of Innovate UK funding mission. The Data Visualisation 2 project (henceforth referred to as DataViz2) was also launched to reduce FOI requests, by enabling easier access to our public data. Feedback on the previous version should now be assessed and possibly deployed as part of DataViz2. Problem to Be Solved Bringing in external geographical data from projects to be displayed in map format: •Link existing official government data sets easily importing that data •Enable users to bring in other non-public geo data •Enable the display of those data fields that are currently hidden (registered users only) •Provide a registered users customisable data summary (Dashboard view) •Explore and if possible implement the option of integrating the app with existing corporate data sources (Tableau., Power BI) •Enable advanced customised searches and filters, including simultaneous areas comparisons •Save user created searches •Admin control panel and UX enhancements on DataViz1 feedback •Secure registration area Who Are the Users EXTERNAL USERS As a researcher I need to visualise where Innovate UK provides funds in relation to their geographical location, filtering it in an easy and intuitive way to gain a greater understanding of the agency’s outreach. INTERNAL As an internal user I need to bring into the application external data sources so that I can compare and analyse data sets geo spatially saving my searches, as well as sharing them with my colleagues, to provide a greater understanding of the way in which we operate and therefore offering opportunities for potential improvement. Early Market Engagement Work Already Done DataViz1 has been in Beta for a year and we have accrued a substantial amount of feedback within that period which has been invaluable in further developing the requirements for phase 2.
