    Brief

    The Commercial Innovation Hub (CIH) is a government centre of excellence designed to make it easier for public sector organizations to procure innovative solutions. It addresses key barriers to innovation procurement, including making it more accessible to SMEs and startups, improving risk culture, and providing better awareness of commercial innovation opportunities through briefs, tools, and templates. The CIH operates in two stages: first, Digital Commercial Innovation Sandboxes (led by DSIT) where public sector problems and potential solutions are identified and tested, and second, the Innovation Marketplace where buyers can access a dynamic pool of suppliers specializing in innovative services across a wide range of sectors. This marketplace provides a contractual route for solutions ready to move from testing to delivery. For inquiries about this agreement, please contact the GCA and reference the agreement details in your correspondence.
