A new regional spotlight series: Growing the local govtech market

Introducing techUK’s regional market insight series

techUK’s Local Public Services and Nations & Regions programme will be partnering with Tussell to launch a new series of regional market insight briefings for members. Each briefing will put the spotlight on a specific region, with members gaining the essential insights into the latest trends and opportunities in that region. Everything from the size of the market to who the biggest buyers in the region are to the frameworks they use.

Local public services can be a complex market to navigate but the opportunities are vast. As public services focus their efforts on recovery and building back better these events will provide members with a better understanding of the regional tech ecosystem. Members will also be better informed on how their product or service can help solve a local problem. Data from Tussell show the market is growing fast and is now worth more than £1.2bn per annum. As local authorities have a wide range of technology spend profiles there are significant opportunities across the whole of the UK which this new series will highlight.

What will the sessions cover?

How big is the market and the regional spend?
Who are the biggest buyers and suppliers in the region?
What the biggest contracts awarded and due to expire are?
The most used procurement frameworks?

Who are the sessions for?

The briefings will provide techUK members active or looking to break into the local public services and wider public sector market with a better understanding of the current landscape, latest tech and procurement trends for that region.

Get involved

To coincide with Birmingham Tech Week, our first regional market insight briefing will focus on the West Midlands tech ecosystem and will be taking place on the 14 October.

Do get in touch with Georgina Maratheftis and Matt Robinson on the regions you’d like us to be featured in the series.
