## Summary

The public procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, led by DFT OLR4 LIMITED. The tender, titled "Online Engagement Tool," has been classified under the Communication and multimedia software package industry category. This opportunity is located in London (SW1H 9AE) and involves a contract valued between £35,000 and £45,000. Key dates include the tender publication on 7th May 2020 and a submission deadline set for 21st May 2020. The procurement follows an open procedure, catering to various suppliers within the service sector.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specializing in digital and software solutions aimed at community engagement. Companies that develop online platforms for public participation, communication software, or digital tools for project management and feedback collection would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement process allows businesses to contribute to innovative methods of community involvement while securing a valuable contract within the public sector.

## Notice

Community engagement, an integral component of the planning process, affords community members the opportunity to weigh-in on projects that may impact their well-being. While typical engagement activities include community information and consultation events and town hall meetings, there has been a relatively recent shift in how governments, developers, and planners engage with the public to encourage their participation - with an increased focus on new types of engagement - including digital and online engagement. Although community meetings and face-to-face interaction are valuable, it is often difficult to get the public to engage due to time constraints, lack of accessibility, and pessimism about their ability to make a difference. Therefore, the push to make data more accessible has led many organisations to use online engagement tools to increase participation in the planning process. The use of online engagement tools to increase awareness and aid in collaborative decision-making is not only useful, it is becoming necessary.
