Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council has successfully completed the procurement process for a Visitor Economy Data Intelligence Platform titled "SZC Tourism Data Platform." The contract was awarded on 8th August 2025 to T-Stats Solutions Limited, an SME based in Tunbridge Wells, for the provision of data services across various UK regions. This procurement, part of a sub-central government initiative, was conducted using an open method of competition classified as "Below threshold," with a contract period starting from 1st September 2025 and potentially extending until 31st August 2028. The procurement process is complete, transitioning from a tender stage that was active with assessment based on quality and price criteria. The platform aims to provide real-time data insights to support strategic decision-making related to the impacts of the Sizewell C project.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the data services industry, particularly those that can deliver real-time insights and business-facing tools to assist in strategic planning and market analysis. SMEs with expertise in data management, processing, analysis, and services related to tourism affairs could benefit greatly, especially as it offers them an opportunity to showcase their capabilities to a public authority. The open competition nature of the procurement process ensures transparency and equal opportunity, inviting businesses to expand their services across multiple regions within the United Kingdom. Such contracts can act as a substantial springboard for service providers looking to establish or expand their presence within the public sector.
