Process
1
For each funding cycle, the working group will select an area of focus.
This topic will relate to the work of a particular City department. The sponsoring department will develop a summary of the challenge and its existing programs, which will inform the call for solutions.
2
OIT issues a call for solutions to request ideas and proposals from the private sector.
Details will be posted online when the application cycle opens. Proposals may be sent to pitch.and.pilot@phila.gov.
3
The working group and relevant City stakeholders evaluate the submitted proposals and select the finalists.
The evaluation process takes approximately 1–2 months. Proposals will be evaluated based on their:
- Innovation.
- Equity.
- Value.
- Scalability.
- Attention to privacy and data security.
4
Finalists present their proposals at a pitch event.
The winning solution provider will be notified and will enter into a contract with OIT.
5
The sponsoring department and solution provider work together to design and execute a pilot project.
OIT, the sponsoring department, and the working group will evaluate the pilot’s potential to advance City priorities and be sustainable at scale. Relevant City departments may choose to issue a request for proposals to scale up the solution.
