In January 2019 a new Digital Department was formed to deliver a transformed end to end digital experience driving market and revenue growth, brand awareness and advocacy for LNER. In the UK Customer Satisfaction report Transport has the 2nd lowest Net Promoter score of all categories (Rail is among the lowest of the categories). LNER are bucking this trend slightly - scoring top performing long distance UK TOC (July 2019 UKCSI). We firmly believe our digital transformations can help improve this further, placing our ambitions as best in class in travel rather than against other rail operators. Our Digital department is not just about our 'website' - but every digital touch point a customer/employee may have and our ambition is to move toward a truly joined up omni-channel experience. As part of this we will identify a flagship Station of the Future to significantly advance customer experience through application and trial of digital technologies across all touch points, stretching from gate lines, to information displays, to tools LNER staff have available to help customers. Problem to be solved LNER have a high level Digital Framework in place. We are now looking for facilitation to formulate a detailed future digital vision in the form of a blueprint, and visual overview of how the whole digital narrative comes together to guide our post 2020 digital focus. This requires Digital blueprints for 4x core areas of the LNER customer journey: - Retail - Journey Information (inc disruption) - Onboard experience - Station of the Future (will be a spin off project in its own right) We are looking for visionary outputs of how technology can help to transform our experience. Expected outputs of this activity: -Facilitating workshops with stakeholders to document where LNER are now, and bring to life our 18 month overarching plan. -Relevant competitor analysis. -Produce Blueprints for what LNER's 2025 digital experience should look like in the 4x areas, setting a bold vision that our roadmap can work towards and including differences by customer personas. -Review LNER's current digital framework (customer journey, principles, personas and user journey template) and advice on effectively socialising this framework to ensure it is being utilised daily across the Dept. NB: prototypes and proof of concepts are out of scope of this proposal. Who the users are and what they need to do The users of this piece of work will primarily be the Digital Department to inform direction of projects across multiple products and platforms, and informing key decisions and prioritisations across the Department to ensure we are building towards a robust digital future. The outputs will also impact business plans for our Station, Operational, Customer Experience and People Deptartments.

Important dates Published Monday 2 December 2019 Deadline for asking questions Monday 9 December 2019 at 11:59pm GMT Closing date for applications Monday 16 December 2019 at 11:59pm GMT Overview Summary of the work We are looking for a supplier with experience of open-source, to advise on the feasibility of creating and sustaining an open-source solution for a Revenues and Benefits system. Latest start date Monday 3 February 2020 Expected contract length 5 days Location No specific location, eg they can work remotely Organisation the work is for Teignbridge, East Devon, Exeter, Sedgemoor, Basildon Budget range £5000 About the work Why the work is being done The work is funded by MHCLG's Local Digital Fund. The purpose of this funding is to support digital projects that address common local service challenges, in common reusable ways. https://localdigital.gov.uk/fund The full application for the project can be found at https://localdigital.gov.uk/funded-projects-round-3/a-new-system-for-processing-revenues-and-benefits-data/ 339 Local Authorities in England and Wales run services to collect Council Tax and Business Rates, and provide a welfare service for Housing Benefits and Council Tax Support. Together, these services are known as 'Revs and Bens'. Each Local Authority operates software to support these services; currently, there are three suppliers of Revs and Bens software. The Teignbridge project will explore the feasibility of introducing a new open-source option for Local Authorities. Problem to be solved The focus is to examine the success factors, and risks, when creating and sustaining an open-source solution for Revs and Bens, and the likely associated costs. This then will inform the Business Case that is put back to MHCLG. The expectation is that a modern approach should be a set of components, made inter-operable by standards and APIs so that councils can build solutions into their digital platform. The use of a digital platform means that a Revs and Bens solution can focus on the business logic, and not be concerned with peripheral capabilities such as identity management records /document management workflow payments Government regularly introduce new or changed policies that require that systems need to be changed. Systems must always be updated in good time to ensure that residents, business and claimants are treated correctly and that the council is acting within regulations. A solution should be capable of coping with change, at minimal cost to the community, whilst giving confidence that change has been thoroughly tested. Councils may choose to adopt local policies, and processes, which better meet the needs and circumstances of their residents. A solution should be capable of plugging in localised components and calculations. Who the users are and what they need to do As a Chief Digital Officer of a Local Authority, I need to ... break computer systems into digital components so that we can change the way we work and serve our local customers. set up a community of practitioners and developers so that open source software is supported and continually improving Early market engagement   Any work that's already been done One of the project's partners, Sedgemoor District Council, is one of two councils in England, who operate their own 'in-house' system for 'Revs and Bens'.
