## Summary

The British Tourist Authority has completed a procurement process for the "BTA1059 - Awards Management Software" project, which is aimed at modernising the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence. The main objective is to simplify the application process by integrating disparate systems currently in use. The procurement, classified under the software package and information systems category, employed an open procedure and concluded with an award on 22 January 2019. The contract value was £56,780, and the contract period extends from 23 January 2019 to 23 January 2024, with delivery addresses located in London, United Kingdom.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in software development and implementation, particularly those focusing on awards management systems and integration solutions. Companies capable of delivering robust, user-friendly systems designed for both regional and national competitions will find themselves well-positioned to compete in future contracts. As this sector evolves towards more streamlined and integrated systems, opportunity exists for agile firms that can adapt their offerings to meet the changing demands of the British Tourist Authority and similar organisations.

## Notice

Following a strategic review of the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence (VEAE), the decision has been made to modernise the awards, using a region-fed national awards system. The findings from the review highlighted that the application process needs to be simpler - currently applicants apply twice using two different systems, which are not integrated in any way. The aim is to achieve a unified awards programme that will require aligned processes and systems - it has therefore been identified that by licensing an awards management software, that is also available for the regional 'feeder' awards competitions to use, this will help to meet these requirements. The new system will need to provide a front-end website options and back-end application submission and management portal for both VisitEngland and the regional 'feeder' awards organisers, and will involve configuration, implementation, set-up and adoption for VisitEngland and currently up to 20 regional awards competitions.
