## Summary

The South Cambridgeshire District Council is seeking a vendor for its "Community Engagement Initiative," with a focus on creating a game that encourages residents to explore their local area through an orienteering-based approach. The procurement, classified under mapping software development services, is an open procedure and targets service providers within the East of England. The tender was published on 2nd May 2025, with submissions due by 15th May 2025, and the contract is to run from 1st June 2025 to 30th November 2025. This process falls under the procurement stage of a tender and is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), though not specifically for voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs).

The tender provides opportunities for software developers specialising in digital placemaking and interaction design to expand their portfolio by collaborating with the public sector on community-focused initiatives. Businesses with expertise in digital technology, mapping, and community engagement will find this project highly relevant, as it promises to leverage innovative approaches for social connectivity through technology. Firms experienced in developing engaging content that fosters movement and spatial awareness stand a competitive chance in securing this contract, thus enabling business growth within the geospatial and community development industries.
