This initiative falls within the services industry, specifically focusing on the development of a hyperlocal data platform to support local tourism and safety. The tender is currently at the Tender stage, with a submission deadline on 4th April 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 8th April 2022 and concludes on 1st July 2022, and the services must be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The process follows an open procurement method, designed for smaller projects below the threshold. This tender presents significant opportunities for software development firms, particularly those specialising in communication and multimedia software. Businesses that are well-suited to compete include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that have expertise in creating real-time data applications. The aim of the project is to enhance safety for tourists while promoting the local economy, thereby offering a lucrative market for innovative solutions that integrate local knowledge and technology. ## Notice The project aims to innovate a hyperlocal data platform to sustainably support our economy. The innovation uses local knowledge to assist the local economy. The vision is to create and support a sustainable tourist economy, through delivering key, real-time information promoting safe experiences in a given area. Since 2010 tourism has been the fastest growing sector in the UK in employment terms. Britain is forecast to have a tourism industry worth over PS257 billion by 2025. In 2018, Cornwall's economy was worth PS9 billion a year, of which PS1.8bn came from tourism. This equated to 4 million visitors that year alone. During the same year, 26 people died accidentally off the county's coastline. This statistic is based on 2018 figures, prior to Covid-19 and the dramatic increase in UK tourism due to travelling restrictions. May 2020 saw 6 coastal deaths in only 8 days. In August 2020, Cornwall was "largely full to current capacity", according to local police. On one weekend, Devon and Cornwall Police saw a 26% increase in 999 callouts compared with 2019. No platform currently integrates real-time data to inform and educate people on the dangers of our coastline. To date the project has been through a discovery phase involving a workshop with key stakeholders to explore the requirements for the mobile applications. From this a wireframe clickable prototype was developed in Figma, which shows the interactions and general experience that we are looking for. The wireframe will therefore form a key input into the development of the application, but tenderers should not be limited by this initial design. We are seeking a software developer to build a publicly available development app for testing over the summer on three Cornish beaches and the surrounding amenities. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/99e3d977-e26c-4dea-acaa-ce8b5543eb70 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 4 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Apr 2022 - 1 Jul 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MY COAST LIMITED | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR2 4NH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Probus & St Erme | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48500000 - Communication and multimedia software package - 48700000 - Software package utilities - 48900000 - Miscellaneous software package and computer systems ## Release History - 29 Mar 2022 at 06:22 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/99e3d977-e26c-4dea-acaa-ce8b5543eb70 - 22 Mar 2022 at 14:30 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/99e3d977-e26c-4dea-acaa-ce8b5543eb70 - 15 Mar 2022 at 14:41 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/99e3d977-e26c-4dea-acaa-ce8b5543eb70 - 15 Mar 2022 at 12:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/99e3d977-e26c-4dea-acaa-ce8b5543eb70 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/99e3d977-e26c-4dea-acaa-ce8b5543eb70 29th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/09376922-4aa6-45ab-a106-0ba909d073fe - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cdc8bddf-e195-4c1c-b814-bcdc060d67ed - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0f0749af-e22c-471e-a821-f017ae5b2477 Update to correct typo in linking requirements to tender evaluation - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dfd60cb6-1844-4fa9-975a-309ceea53047 1st set of responses to bidders questions dated 22/03/2022 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dc13ec37-cb61-4955-b31a-be4892b8a65e 2nd Tender questions and answers dated 29th March 2022 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
