Deadline: 1 November 2023
The Civil Service Data Challenge invites civil servants to put forward your ideas for how government can improve its use of data; you can also volunteer to join one of the project teams developing the most promising ideas.
Government has huge data assets, but often fails to make best use of them. Under the Civil Service Data Challenge, they gather the ideas of civil servants across the workforce on how to improve the data systems and tools, and take the best ideas forward in project teams of civil service volunteers.
Prize Information
- The best idea will receive £50,000-worth of technical support and the backing of senior leaders, pushing it down the road towards implementation; and every participant will gain new skills, experiences and contacts.
Judging Criteria
To what extent is the idea…
- Likely to improve the lives of public service users or the tools used by civil servants?
- Likely to generate a high return on investment, with the benefits for citizens, civil servants and taxpayers substantially greater than the costs?
- Deliverable, with likely obstacles assessed and addressed?
- Innovative and exemplary in its use of data and technology?
- Replicable and scalable, with potential applications across government?
- In line with the goals of civil service reform, departmental priorities and the Data Ethics Framework?
