SimplyDo has been a game changer for the SBRI programme in Northern Ireland - providing a reliable platform that is easy to use by bidders and assessors alike and allowing us to manage the whole procurement and reporting process effectively and efficiently. The team at SimplyDo continue to provide responsive support, and work closely with the SIB team to ensure ongoing improvement and development of the programme.
Sian Thornthwaite, Programme Director, SIB
Working with SimplyDo has allowed the university to engage with innovators across and beyond the organisation. Their combination of an easy-to-use digital platform and a proven process for managing innovation meant that we were able to provide a great experience for our strategic partners Arsenal Football Club and solidify the journey of research collaboration together.
Claire Renwick, Head of Business Engagement, London Metropolitan University
Our collaboration with SimplyDo has enabled the WBS to deliver a digitalised approach to the management of improvement work within the WBS and establish an open and engaging platform for staff to share, collaborate and celebrate their improvements. The progress to date has built a solid foundation on which to develop more strategic challenges and continue to grow our improvement culture.

SimplyDo set out a clear end-to-end operational process to manage our innovation challenges. Then delivered at pace to ensure we achieved our project objectives. Every aspect of their unique people, process and digital product proposition was aligned to our requirements.
Nick Crew, Chief Operating Officer, Airbus Endeavr
SimplyDo helped us reach different audiences and made it less daunting for organisations, which opened the door to the voluntary sector. It was hugely beneficial that the administration was automated and the support was more than we expected.

Dan Gillians, Innovation Technology Lead, Rolls-Royce Defence
We were very sceptical at first as we know how hard it is for housing associations like ours to engage construction suppliers. But SimplyDo really surprised us with the quality of suppliers they engaged. Their process saved us so much time and effort particularly as we were working to a tight deadline. We’re absolutely delighted with the outcome!
Meg Smith, Head of Assets and Compliance, Caredig Housing
Working with SimplyDo allowed us to pioneer a new approach to SBRI innovation challenges in Wales. As a result, we have been able to automate the time-intensive process of new supplier engagement and qualification. This has created a much better experience for all the key stakeholders involved.
Lynda Jones, Head of Challenge Led Innovation, SBRI Centre of Excellence, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
Challenge-led innovation is enabling us to build innovation capacity, build a culture of collaboration and explore new products, services and approaches to tackle systemic challenges within the housing sector.
