OCTO has estimated the value of these submissions at $2,000,000+ including external contracting costs and internal procurement time
The cost to OCTO was $50,000 including prizes, marketing, management etc. representing an estimated 4,000% return on investment
OCTO has estimated that it would have taken them 1-2 years to complete the procurement process and receive delivery of applications like these under their legacy procurement method
