A potentially politically hot piece of work. In my locality the CCG has been pushing hugely unpopular (and largely unworkable) proposals for downgrading our local hospital services in favour of a very costly PFI-financed hospital an hour away. ---

Well spotted Graham - sounds like a really interested project - though challenging at the budget. I believe our french sister network Happy Dev have already developed a decentralised protocol to do almost exactly what is being described: [https://startinblox.happy-dev.fr/](https://startinblox.happy-dev.fr/) @alexbourlier and other will be demoing the platform at the hack at the end of November I believe. It might also be a way that we can power a shared ā€œshop windowā€ while keeping the data about our services, clients, etc. decentralised. ---

Hi guys ! Thanks for the ping. I confirm that we intend to bid on this call for proposal of Cooperatives Europe at Startinā€™blox. I also agree budget is quite tight butā€¦ it is very much aligned with the kind of architecture we are promoting soā€¦ we are IN ! Iā€™ll keep you guys posted. Happy to visit you at the end of the month. ---

Hi @alexbourlier We took a look at this as Coops Europe are an existing client but I donā€™t think weā€™ll be putting in a proposal due to the timeline and budget. We (Agile Collective) would be happy to help with any Drupal related aspect of the project, though, if you need any. Once @finn explained / translated the brief for me, it does seem really interesting and surprisingly progressive for the ICA. Cheers, Aaron ---

Hi @aaron, Thanks you this response. Message received regarding the Drupal part of it. I keep it in mind. We reply to the request for proposals this week. ---

A lot of the work that comes up on the [GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk/) [Digital Marketplace](https://www.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/) require security clearance, however these ones posted yesterday donā€™t and they caught my eye as jobs that some of the CoTech co-ops could potentially bid for: - [Department for Education : Skills Advisory Panels Data Tool: Discovery](https://www.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/digital-outcomes-and-specialists/opportunities/8154) - [The British Council : School Partner-Finding Tool](https://www.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/digital-outcomes-and-specialists/opportunities/7917) [Webarchitects](https://webarch.coop/) are not in a position to take the lead in any bid but we would be happy to provide devops / sysadmin / hosting services alongside any other co-ops who is interested in bidding for these jobs. ---

Thanks for sharing these @chris. The British Council one looks a really good fit, although these tender processes rarelt bare fruit. I expect we will put in for it but will evaluate this week - and bear in mind WebArch for sysadmin/devops. ---

Hey up team! @Chris, thanks so much for sharing these, they look decent, although i doubt the DfE will be keen on us with all our work on school cuts šŸ™‚ @aaron, Let us know if you decide to go in on the BC one as itā€™s also something weā€™d be into, potential agile x outlandish collab? Give us a bell an we can have a natter either way. Tā€™ra ---

Hi @aaron, I hope you recovered properly. I have just injured myself climbing soā€¦ I sympathize greatly. We sent our proposal 2 weeks ago, as we couldnā€™t wait any longer due to the tight deadline. However we would be more than happy to collaborate with you on the Drupal part in due time so if we are the chosen one, Iā€™ll definitely reach back to you to implement the Drupal bit. We would very much love to collaborate with CoTech and it seems this project is ideal for this. All the best ! ---

Hi folks, does anyone have experience of Open Journal Systems? Weā€™re working with someone who wants to upgrade a legacy system with lots of customisation, and we think while we could do this, it would be better done by someone with a prior understanding of the technology and potential upgrade issues. cheers, Tom [Previous page](https://community.coops.tech/t/tenders-opportunities/112.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.coops.tech/t/tenders-opportunities/112.md?page=3)
