Scope overview
Digital inclusion is a key focus for the Government Digital Services portfolio and DIA has been leading an approach to achieve improve digital inclusion outcomes. More background and outputs are available at https://www.digital.govt.nz/digital-government/digital-transformation/digital-inclusion/.
A wide range of groups have been identified through research and engagement as being at risk of not being digitally included.
In 2019, DIA commissioned a report from Motu Research, which identified Maori, Pasifika peoples, people with disabilities, seniors (especially those over 75 years), those not employed or actively seeking work, and people living in larger country towns as groups where particular effort should be focused.
We are seeking Request for Proposals (RFP) from a range of intermediaries interested in supporting DIA to distribute $5.000 million of funding through a targeted pilot programme to deliver digital skills packages for SMEs. This pilot programme will enable 1,000 SMEs owned by Maori, Pasifika, or disabled people to engage in the digital world.
The packages will specifically help these SMEs develop networks and skills to sustain their business activity and diversify into different markets. The purpose of the RFP is to identify a panel of capable and willing providers that can meet the criteria of an Intermediary role for this pilot programme.
Following evaluation of the responses, we reserve the right to either create a panel of qualified intermediaries or select a single intermediary. It is our intention that this pilot will run until 30 June 2021.
The following are the key outcomes that are to be delivered: Up to 500 packages have been rolled out by intermediaries to Maori SME�s Complete by 30 June 2021 Up to 300 packages have been rolled out to Pasifika SME�s Complete by 30 June 2021 Up to 200 packages have been delivered to Disabled people SME�s Complete by 30 June 2021
