We worked with the Mayor of London to design and deliver the Mayor’s Resilience Fund which included two phases:
The Mayor’s Resilience Fund was funded by the London Economic Action Partnership. The Public Markets Challenge was delivered in partnership with Well Street Market, Ridley Road Market, Kingsland Market, Hoxton Street, Chatsworth Road and Broadway Market.
Create a scalable and transferrable digital service that creates a single gateway for trader licensing applications and that allows traders to access trading opportunities across London’s public markets by making it easier to register across multiple sites and boroughs.
The London Boroughs of Hackney, Camden, Tower Hamlets and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The solution would need to be easily scalable and portable to be operated across all London boroughs.
Local authority street trading/market teams, existing licensed traders and potential new temporary traders and entrepreneurs who would like to trial a business idea on a market or street trading isolated site operating under the London Local Authorities Act 1990 or the Food Act 1984.
A digital platform that enables market traders to view active trading opportunities, apply for and renew licenses across all London boroughs, and manage various aspects of their license, such as the pitch number, manager and assistants.
As London reopens from lockdown, the vision of Openmarkets.London is to maximise the vibrancy of London’s markets, as diverse communities of trade and shopping. The project will make it easier to apply for a trading license across London’s local authority markets.
A phased approach towards the automation of street trading for market operators. The solution begins with solving the application process for London local authorities by consolidating and standardising the varying processes into a single format. This will be a secure digital platform covering the current legislation and legalities of the street licensing process across London.
