Digital City Banner

  • Glasgow have been awarded a finalist medal in the e-GIF Accreditation Public Sector Awards, with a submission based on
    e-GIF compliance. 

  • Glasgow City Council made e-GIF one of the key criteria for the procurement process and ensured that suppliers focussed their attention on e-GIF as an issue for their public sector business.

  • The project chosen was the Council Tax Revenues and Benefits system replacement, (BRITe).  The work done on the project ensured that an e-GIF compliant supplier and solution were chosen for the Council.  The project raised awareness of e-GIF within both GCC and the supplier community, and introduced the Scottish dimension, OSIAF to the suppliers. 

  • The overall winner of the award was the Department
    for Education and Skills (DfES) – Data Services Group.  The DfES was one of the first public sector organisations to achieve full e-GIF Accredited status.
