## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Falmouth Exeter Plus, seeks software design and development services to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for an engagement platform. This project is identified under the IT services category (CPV code 72000000) and is located in Penryn, South West England. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone deadline of 28th January 2022 for engagement completion. Early details of this tender were published on 17th January 2022, inviting potential bidders to contribute to the project framework.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in software development and user experience design. Companies that can effectively demonstrate a capacity for agile project methodologies, as well as the ability to build interactive and data-driven platforms with features like user profiles and project dashboards, would be well-suited to apply. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those engaged in innovative tech solutions, have a promising avenue for growth by participating in this tender.

## Notice

We require software design & development services to support us with building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) of an engagement platform. We expect the MVP build to be structured around 3 x 4-week sprints where each sprint incorporates User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to fix bugs; and focus groups are run to obtain feedback and refine the user experience. The ability to create separate logins and profiles for three different user groups; enable sharing of data, tracking of specific outcomes and time against projects via a project dashboard; along with a private chat room, referrals and notifications system are some of the core features of our MVP." The potential bidders need to provide full pricing and features list based on the information in this request and this will then feed into the final design and tender stage.
