Digital Government Government Tenders in Colombia

Citizen-facing services, service standards and the assessments they must pass

Digital government work is procured against a published service standard in most jurisdictions that have one, and the standard is the specification. It typically requires user research with actual users including those with access needs, iterative delivery with working software at each stage, accessibility conformance tested rather than declared, use of common platforms for identity, payment and notification rather than building them again, and assessment at defined points by a panel with the power to stop the service going live.

That assessment regime changes what a supplier is selling. A bid has to propose a team capable of passing an assessment -- user researchers, designers, technologists and a product owner working together -- rather than a delivery plan for a specification. Buyers increasingly require the team to include and train their own staff so that capability remains, and contracts are shorter and stage-gated so the buyer can stop at an assessment rather than at a completion date.

Assisted digital and the non-digital route are requirements, not afterthoughts. A public service must remain reachable by people who cannot or will not use the online channel, so telephone, paper and face-to-face routes are specified alongside, and take-up assumptions that ignore them are challenged. Open standards for data and interfaces, publication of source code where practicable, and the buyer's ownership of code and content are increasingly mandatory, which makes proprietary platform proposals a poor fit for this category however capable they are.

This section describes how this category is bought generally, across the public buyers that publish it. The figures elsewhere on this page are measured for this market alone.
