The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender deadline of 8th May 2024. The contract period is set to start on 3rd June 2024 and last until 2nd June 2027. The minimum value of the contract is £48,000, while the total contract value amounts to £90,000. The procurement method is an open procedure below threshold, and the location of the contract services includes various regions in the United Kingdom and other territories. This procurement opportunity presents a chance for Small-Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and other businesses in the social research services industry to engage with the British Tourism Authority in enhancing hotel occupancy data analysis. Interested suppliers can access the procurement documentation through the Atamis eprocurement system. The project aims to achieve timeliness, granularity, and forward-looking insights into tourism flows, providing a growth opportunity for businesses capable of meeting the outlined needs and requirements. ## Notice VB/VE is the national tourism agency, a non-departmental public body funded by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) and our mission is to make tourism one of the most successful and productive sectors for the UK economy. We achieve this by supporting England's tourism industry, driving inbound visitor spend, providing expert advice to industry and to Government. VB/VE research utilises a range of travel and tourism statistics to monitor and predict international and domestic tourism flows. Hotel occupancy data continues to provide key insights for us as an organisation and we would like to refresh this supply and potentially enhance it with additional features. The hotel occupancy data we currently subscribe to has been published monthly in PDF format on our website here: https://www.visitbritain.org/research-insights/england-hotel-occupancy-latest The archive reports are available here: https://www.visitbritain.org/research-insights/england-hotel-occupancy-archive As part of our new data sources project, we identified the following business needs: - Timeliness (monitoring inbound and domestic tourism at a shorter latency) - Granularity (examining tourism behaviour across nations/regions with greater detail, specifically counties and Local Authorities which feed into the new LVEP areas) - Being forward looking (predicting future tourism flows with greater confidence) We have found that hotel occupancy data has the capacity to meet the need of timeliness to a point as we currently receive frequent and timely data deliveries. However, it does lack particularly on granularity. Granularity is a key need with the ability to drill down into small regional geographies. With this data source, the provision of forward-looking data is, while not essential, also useful. We would like to retain and enhance our hotel occupancy data package in order to best meet these needs.
