Submit.com works directly with the LGMA to modernise how local authorities design, share, and deliver digital services. Together we are turning the goals of the 2030 strategy into solutions that are live across Irish councils today, built once and shared with every authority on the platform.
A partnership at the heart of national strategy
Submit.com supports the delivery of Ireland’s Local Government Digital and ICT Strategy 2030, the national programme set up to transform how local authorities serve their communities through modern, efficient, and joined-up digital services.
This is a direct and active relationship, not a peripheral one. Submit.com engages with LGMA leadership, contributes to the ongoing development of the strategy’s implementation, and has been invited to collaborate on national initiatives, including the LGMA’s annual IT conference.
That collaboration is recognised in the LGMA’s endorsement of the platform and in the permission granted for Submit.com to carry the LGMA name and identity, a clear signal of the trust placed in our work across the sector.
The platform Irish local government already trusts
More than 25 of Ireland’s local authorities already use Submit.com to deliver digital services to their communities. That scale of adoption is what makes the platform uniquely placed to support the LGMA’s ambitions. We are not starting from scratch, we are already part of the daily operations of councils across the country.
When Submit.com and the LGMA develop shared standards together, those standards can be adopted quickly and consistently across most of Irish local government, because the platform to deliver them is already in place.
Delivering Build to Share, together
Central to the 2030 strategy is the Build to Share principle: a digital solution developed by one local authority should be available to all. The aim is to remove duplication, reduce costs, and ensure that every council, whatever its size or resources, can deliver high-quality digital services to its citizens.
Submit.com was built around exactly this principle. We operate a centrally curated, shared library of forms, workflows, and application processes, developed in collaboration with councils and made available to every local authority on the platform. When one council refines a process, every council benefits.
This is the Build to Share vision, operational today.
Shared solutions across Irish local government
The Submit.com shared library, developed with and for Irish local authorities, already includes live, deployed solutions across some of the most important programmes in local government.
Climate Action Fund applications
Consistent, accessible processes that help councils and communities engage with climate funding.
Affordable Purchase Schemes
Standardised workflows supporting the delivery of affordable housing programmes across multiple authorities.
Vacant Property Refurbishment Grants
Enabling councils to administer the vacant property grant scheme in a joined-up, auditable way.
Above the Shop Grants
Shared processes that help local authorities bring vacant upper-floor spaces back into use.
Expert Advice Grants
Streamlined application and assessment workflows available to any council on the platform.
Each of these is exactly what Build to Share calls for: a solution built once, refined collaboratively, and deployed consistently across Irish local government. The library continues to grow as more councils contribute and collaborate through the platform.
A strategic partnership for the long term
Submit.com’s engagement with the LGMA goes beyond technology. We are part of the conversation about how Irish local government’s digital future should be shaped, contributing to the frameworks, standards, and shared approaches that will define public service delivery for years to come.
As the 2030 strategy continues to roll out, we are committed to evolving the platform in step with the LGMA’s direction, so that every local authority, whatever its size, has the tools it needs to meet the strategy’s goals and serve its communities well. Ireland’s local government is building its digital future, and Submit.com is helping to build it, with the LGMA.
