## Summary

The Coventry City Council has completed the procurement process for a digital event travel planning assistant platform aimed at enhancing travel for events associated with the Coventry City of Culture 2021. The contract, valued at £650,000, falls under the industry category of software package and information systems (CPV 48000000). The contract period started on 19th May 2020 and will last until 31st January 2022, with the tender having closed on 14th April 2020. The procurement method used was an open procedure.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for software developers, particularly those specialising in event management applications and travel planning systems. Businesses that can deliver customisable digital platforms, with API integration capabilities and an understanding of transport logistics, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The engagement with local suppliers, especially SMEs, is encouraged, which could foster growth in the regional tech ecosystem.

## Notice

Coventry City Council is seeking to procure a digital event travel planning assistant platform for Coventry City of Culture 2021 events. We anticipate procuring an off the shelf product (bar the addition of event/organisers branding and content) which will provide an online platform hosted by the provider. The platform will link via API's to the City of Culture's event website and ticket purchasing platform to provide event attendees (general public) with a customised travel planner platform. The Council will be able to use the travel planner to promote particular travel options, direct attendees to other third-party travel sites to book travel where necessary and allow updates to be communicated to those attendees who may be affected by known potential travel disruption ahead of their event for the travel method they have booked / indicated on the platform. The platform will allow the collection of travel planning data from the platform, to be shared with the Council to inform their planning and preparation for specific City of Culture events.
