Customer’s testimonial
“G-Cloud 10 was an incredibly simple and efficient way for the Big Lottery Fund to procure a credible organisation capable of delivering our ABS data dashboard. The data dashboard will allow the five A Better Start partnerships to compare their performance with other partnerships enabling them to share learning and knowledge more effectively. The data from the five partnerships will be aggregated up to provide a programme level dashboard which will support the partnerships and The Fund in informing national as well as local policy. The common data set and dashboard will support the partnerships to deliver their agreed outcomes, most notably their ability to affect a systems change through evidence based practice.”
