Digital Modernization Brighton & Hove City Council already relies on Drupal, Acquia Cloud and Cherwell, signaling readiness for ongoing digital modernization. This creates opportunities to offer managed hosting, security, CMS optimization, and IT service management improvements to streamline public-facing portals and internal workflows.

Mobility and Sustainability The council is actively expanding sustainable mobility initiatives, including a shared electric cargo bike scheme and active travel schemes. This presents cross-selling opportunities for fleet electrification, mobility-as-a-service platforms, charging management software, and asset-tracking solutions that support citywide transportation programs.

Public Funded Partnerships Participation in national pilots and Innovation Fund programs indicates a strong appetite for co-funded, scalable solutions. Leverage this by offering grant-ready project approaches, cross-agency collaboration plans and turnkey digital/sustainability initiatives aligned with public-sector procurement cycles.

Inclusive Infrastructure Recent initiatives to provide pavement EV charging for blue badge holders demonstrate commitment to accessibility and inclusive infrastructure. Opportunities exist to deliver accessible digital services, citizen engagement platforms, and assistive technology integrated with existing municipal systems.

Data and Smart City The council’s focus on improving public services and partnerships suggests potential for data and IoT-enabled city solutions, including sensors, analytics dashboards, and integration with Drupal/Acquia-based portals to optimize operations such as street cleaning, transport, and public health programs.
