Overview

The Social Sector Board which consists of the chief executives of government social sector agencies established the Social Investment Unit (SIU) to coordinate the provision of:
a. Data Infrastructure – to deliver an information exchange that shares data in clever, safe ways to support Social Investment decision-making
b. Innovation Lab - to develop, test and deploy new products, services and channels
c. Evidence and Insights – to provide a consistent approach to measuring what works, for whom
d. Investment – to support Ministers and the Social Sector Board to set their investment priorities, manage a portfolio of investments and measure performance.

In this context, the Social Investment Unit (SIU) has a requirement to engage a technology provider to deliver the first production version (Prod-1) of a secure data solution which would be used as a common enabler across NZ Government and the private sector to enable rapid sharing of data in a secure and safe manner between these parties.

Background
The SIU is building a data exchange to enable the secure sharing of data between social sector government agencies and contracted NGO’s, to support informed social investment decisions (and potentially other decisions to support social agency priorities).
The data exchange enables agencies to share data through a ‘smart pipe’ (a cloud-based service) which securely links agency data stores, with each agency able to determine what data under its control travels around the exchange and to whom.
Building a common exchange will allow agencies to move from the current state where there are a large number of separate and inconsistent technology interfaces which do not support secure sharing of data, through to a state which allows data to be quickly and safely shared between registered users of the exchange.
The data exchange will:
a. Provide a safe, secure and controlled internet-based data exchange between government agencies and NGOs to share data at a number of levels.
b. Connect social sector agencies in a way that’s easy, consistent and efficient.
c. Enable the measurement of outcomes and the development of investment advice for the social sector.
d. Support generic processes around data-build standards, including privacy.
e. Allows for a data feedback loop.
