Notice Information

Notice Title

COV - Travel Planning Assistant Platform - AWARD

Notice Description

Coventry City Council is seeking to procure a digital event travel planning assistant platform for Coventry City of Culture 2021 events. We anticipate procuring an off the shelf product (bar the addition of event/organisers branding and content) which will provide an online platform hosted by the provider. The platform will link via API's to the City of Culture's event website and ticket purchasing platform to provide event attendees (general public) with a customised travel planner platform. The Council will be able to use the travel planner to promote particular travel options, direct attendees to other third-party travel sites to book travel where necessary and allow updates to be communicated to those attendees who may be affected by known potential travel disruption ahead of their event for the travel method they have booked / indicated on the platform. The platform will allow the collection of travel planning data from the platform, to be shared with the Council to inform their planning and preparation for specific City of Culture events.
