Case Study: Greater London Authority achieves streamlined funding applications with Keytree's Open Project System

Keytree creates the ‘Open Project System’ – streamlining GLA funding applications

The Greater London Authority (GLA) was struggling with a time-consuming, fragmented grant application process across multiple legacy systems as it sought to increase housing delivery across the capital. Keytree created the Open Project System, a centralised online platform to digitalise and streamline funding applications, project management and reporting for organisations developing new homes.

Keytree delivered the solution using Agile sprints, stakeholder workshops, DevOps and ongoing managed services, producing a configurable portal where applicants can submit and track bids, manage grant claims, provide reporting and upload documentation in one place. The Keytree-built Open Project System reduced duplication, simplified workflows, sped up application processing and future‑proofed the GLA’s programmes through flexible configuration and continuous operational support.
