This project falls under the IT services category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, and internet support. The procurement process aims to assess interest for an application providing walking route navigation around the Bristol area and surrounding regions, with a budget of £120,000 available for the contract period from 1st September 2020 to 30th September 2021. Interested vendors were advised to communicate their interest by 6th August 2020, with future notices expected on 23rd August 2020. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for software development and mobile application companies looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts. Businesses with expertise in building mobile applications, especially those focusing on geolocation and user-friendly interfaces, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, organisations experienced in integrating health-related functionalities, such as tracking and event management features, may find this opportunity aligns well with their services, potentially contributing to community health and well-being initiatives in Bristol. ## Notice Bristol City Council is seeking to understand if there are interested parties for the provision of a way finding application for the provision of walking routes around the west of England (specifically Bristol) area. We are seeking an app (essential) and web platform (not essential) that can be accessed on apple and android phone. The application must be compatible with latest and most popular mobile devices (at least 3 latest OS versions) and GPS so users can access the mapping when they're out, with the option to centre the map on the current location The sought features of the application include: 1. Active travel - the ability to pick points and get walking navigation routes, that can be followed online and offline, with route options such as: * the fastest walking route; * the greenest walking route; * ideally the possible pollution data (along a walking route). Ability to include information on walk including: Walk Summary; Directions; Photos; Hazards; Legend and icons. The app might need to cover the West of England (Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and Bath and North East Somerset ) so will need to be able to incorporate data from that geographic area. 2. Short walks- these will focus on a selection of short walks for Bristol (and the locality) based businesses and their staff for: * lunchtime walks; * walking meetings; * points of interest in city; * this could include walking routes to particular historical destinations or particular businesses. 3. Event Functionality specifically for the Bristol Walk Fest, a citywide walking festival, to track and evaluate the event: * section to incorporate up to 6 walking categories; * possible ability to collect some demographic data; * short surveys for those taking part on walk routes; * monitoring of use i.e. during May's Walk Fest and then uses of other routes thereafter; * Links to other websites or apps i.e. associated groups; information access for points of interest. 4. Walk for Health * This might be incorporated as we currently have various walk for health groups that might want to put specific walks on there that meet their guidelines for Walk for Health i.e. accessibility, gradient etc. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EARLIER EXERCISE TO COLLATE EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY IS NOW ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE OR UPDATE. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5a84bb6-496f-46b1-89e5-410e0dd02048 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Aug 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Aug 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2020 - 30 Sep 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £120,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS1 5TR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Hotwells and Harbourside | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72200000 - Software programming and consultancy services - 72416000 - Application service providers - 72420000 - Internet development services ## Release History - 5 Aug 2020 at 10:59 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5a84bb6-496f-46b1-89e5-410e0dd02048 - 23 Jul 2020 at 15:09 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f36959e3-1c02-42d7-83bb-db0b8c0a23b0 - 23 Jul 2020 at 15:07 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1fec8a18-9e46-4ce2-8fa6-cf294ae22594 - 23 Jul 2020 at 15:04 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/517fd98d-71dd-4871-a4ad-db7b4ea51abb - 23 Jul 2020 at 14:15 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7b3fc32a-085b-4b5e-a157-35fb98016f02 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5a84bb6-496f-46b1-89e5-410e0dd02048 5th August 2020 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f36959e3-1c02-42d7-83bb-db0b8c0a23b0 23rd July 2020 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1fec8a18-9e46-4ce2-8fa6-cf294ae22594 23rd July 2020 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/517fd98d-71dd-4871-a4ad-db7b4ea51abb 23rd July 2020 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7b3fc32a-085b-4b5e-a157-35fb98016f02 23rd July 2020 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.bristol.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
