Legal, financial and commercial capability
To negotiate with commercial partners
Commercial negotiations are never easy and cities tend to be at a disadvantage as their legal teams are generally not focused on this type of deal. Yet there is hope; cities can learn from innovators and the possibility of pooling wisdom is tantalising.
While the following are just two examples, OASC is looking for ways to broaden cases and support for cities in negotiating with commercial service providers for shared data. Watch this space.
Where to look for more tips and guidance:
The City of Lisbon |
The City of Lisbon is one such authority that has successfully negotiated to receive data from a corporate provider (in relation to a city bike scheme), as part of its urban data platform. |
The City of Ghent |
The City of Ghent also successfully negotiated to receive data from waste contractors to tackle fly-tipping. |
