Since 2019, 27 of London's boroughs pool digital and data work into one shared unit, LOTI, each paying about £30,000 a year rather than building tech teams alone.

A shared innovation and data unit set up in July 2019 by the Greater London Authority and London Councils to help London's boroughs collaborate on digital, data and technology instead of solving problems in isolation. Membership grew from 15 founding boroughs to 27 (plus the GLA and London Councils), funded by borough subscriptions (£30,000/year) and grants. Concrete outputs include a shared Data Ethics Service, a Pan-London IoT declaration, joint recruitment support and cross-borough data-sharing projects.
