Digital Communities- Empowering People to Engage with Technology (EP2EIT). Lot 2- Development of sectoral management and evaluation tools.

Tender description

This tender is seeking a supplier to develop a set of digital tools that will help community and voluntary organisations improve how they collect, manage, and use data. The project focuses on creating practical systems that support organisations in tracking their work, measuring outcomes, and using information more effectively to improve planning and service delivery. The successful supplier will work closely with groups of participating organisations to understand their current processes, identify needs, and design tools that are easy to use and relevant to their day-to-day operations. The work will involve reviewing existing data practices, developing and testing prototype systems, refining the tools based on feedback, and supporting organisations during implementation. The project is intended to create consistent approaches to data management within different sectors while also building a wider understanding of service delivery trends through the collection of anonymised information. Participating organisations will benefit from better visibility of their activities and performance through dashboards and reporting tools that support evidence-based decision-making. The wider project aims to use aggregated data to inform future planning, encourage greater use of digital technologies across the sector, and support longer-term development and collaboration. The initiative is being delivered as a pilot project, with the expectation that the tools and learning developed through the process can later be expanded, adapted, and scaled to support a broader range of organisations and regions in the future.
