open technologies and technology services to avoid

proprietary lock-in and closed architectures.

A set of criteria to help Barcelona select appropriate

open technologies and define the commitments to

open-source, open standards, interoperability, security

and transparency.

New Procurement Framework & Digital Marketplace

A new procurement instrument optimized for buying

agile services from pre-evaluated suppliers. This will

allow more efficient procurement cycles and reduce

supplier risk.

Capability Plan & Hiring

An approach to developing and maintaining the skill

and capabilities required for delivering digital services

and a staffing approach for securing new skills in the

short term.

Today cities have more data than ever before (90% of the data that currently

exists did not exist 3 years ago). It is information that is neither organized nor

accessible. Part of it is on the web. And the other part is divided between the

multiple departments and companies that compose a City Hall.

Citizens live in hyper-connected spaces and generate and use real-time

information and participatory crowdsourcing. Knowledge is distributed, not

centralised.

Data should be used to take better, faster, and more democratic decisions,

incubate innovation and drive socio-economic growth, improve procurement and

public services, and empower people.
