Pre-market Engagement to Inform the Design of a Pilot Capacity Building Programme (‘Citizen Office of Digital Innovation’ or CODI).

This Prior Information Notice is to notify the market of Belfast City Council’s intention to hold a pre-market engagement session with interested parties that will inform the design of a pilot capacity building programme (‘Citizen Office of Digital Innovation’ or CODI). The pilot programme aims to identify and test a ‘digital citizenship skillset’ that will support citizens and other actors to engage and participate in shaping the technologically-enabled city to support quality of life outcomes. The programme seeks to utilise creative and interactive methods to explore relevant topics such as co-design, citizen science, the Internet of Things, AI & data science, privacy, and smart cities. The tender will be published at the end of July subject to Council approval.
