Funding Navigator, Registration and Data Readiness Components for The Data Lab

Tender description

Established in 2014, The Data Lab (www.thedatalab.com) is Scotland’s Innovation Centre for data and AI. We are funded by the Scottish Government via the Scottish Funding Council, Scottish Enterprise and Highland and Islands Enterprise are hosted by the University of Edinburgh. The Data Lab’s mission is to help Scotland maximise value from data and lead the world to a data powered future and our strategic plan focuses on scaling our impact further across Scotland by developing an engaged digital community as a core vehicle for scale. This ITT will focus on the first three Digital tools and components we want to create for the community: 1. A User Registration and Authentication component to enable users to register to use our community applications seamlessly via single sign on. 2. A Data Readiness survey that enables members of our community to understand where there organisation is on their journey and recommend next steps and services from TDL & the ecosystem that can help. This will scale some of the work we do on a group basis in our Executive Education service, 3. A Funding Navigator tool that enables members of our community to be notified of funding opportunities that match their preferences. This will scale some of the work we do as part of our External Funding service. A draft outline specification (for information only) will be attached in PCS-T to help guide bidders' response to the selection stage. The highest scoring 5 bidders who each score a minimum of 50% or above will be invited to the ITT stage. Where less than 5 score 50% or more only those achieving the minimum will be taken forward. In the event of a tie bids will not share a ranking; therefore only in the event of a tie for 5th ranking will more than 5 bids be taken through to ITT stage.
