Guernsey to Transition Digital Greenhouse Activities to Private Sector
What happened
Deputy Sasha Kazantseva-Miller announced that the committee has agreed to transition Digital Greenhouse activities from a government-led model to the private or voluntary sector, working with the Innovate Guernsey board. A new provider is expected to be appointed in the first quarter of next year. The tender process was officially launched last week, although the timeline is considered ambitious.
