Commercial Innovation Hub
Commercial advice for buyers in the public sector on how to bring innovation into their outsourced delivery requirements.
The purpose of the Commercial Innovation Hub
The Commercial Innovation Hub (CIH) aims to:
- unlock the power of innovation within the public sector
- support the UK’s most innovative firms to grow
Integrating innovative solutions into government processes is critical to achieve our 5 missions and deliver the milestones in the Plan for Change.
The CIH has been conceived as a centre of excellence for pioneering new approaches to service design and procurement. The Hub will facilitate a structured process of market engagement to identify more innovative ways to tackle government challenges while using the full flexibility introduced by the new Procurement Act. By doing so, we aim to foster a culture of strategic procurement that supports diverse innovations and enhances the delivery of public services.
Engagement is vital to ensuring the success of the CIH, driving transformative change across government and position the UK as a leader in innovation. Please direct any candidate projects and enquiries to CIH@dsit.gov.uk.
