An overview of CommonSource, who it's for and what you can do in your workspace.

CommonSource helps public-sector organisations find, research and share innovation challenges, and spot where other organisations have the same need.

It is used by two kinds of organisation:

  • Framework operators use it to find buyer challenges that fit their framework and group them into stronger, multi-buyer opportunities.

  • Buyer organisations, such as councils, NHS bodies and other public bodies, use it to record their own challenges, research them, and publish them to suppliers.

In your workspace you can:

  • Keep all your challenges in one Challenge Pipeline.

  • Run research that finds new challenges and adds evidence to existing ones.

  • See suggested clusters where another organisation has a similar challenge.

  • Publish chosen challenges on a public page or on your own website.

CommonSource is in beta. You'll see a Beta label next to your workspace name, and some menu items are marked Soon while they are being built.
