Hey gang, we recently came across an opportunity with the Local Government Association. It’s the first of multiple phases of work. This first phase - Review of their data and technology - is not 100% within Outlandish’s wheelhouse, so we’re looking to collaborate with another coop on it who have complimentary skills. We’ve got quite a lot of what is needed but we’re looking for a coop who has demonstrable experience in:
IT infrastructure, security and resilience, skills development
Understanding of local gov (challenges and opportunities in a digital age)
Experience with councils, combined authorities, central gov departments
Familiarity with local gov data resources and platforms (LG Inform, CRM, data libraries, M365)
Let me know if this sounds like it might be up your street and we can take it from there.
Hi Polly. We CBN have been advising LAs on digital infrastructure (fibre, data centres, 5G strategy) for years. We’ve worked with/for many of the big cities. Happy to collaborate.
Thanks Yuliy. For this we were really looking for an organisation who could point to some concrete examples of their work with local authorities here. We’re now collaborating with a client of ours on this project. Thanks for your answer though and hopefully there’s another opportunity to collaborate in the future.
