## Summary

The procurement process involves Orfi Sports Group Ltd, which is based in Truro, England, seeking to commission the development of an online marketplace for sports and fitness activities. The tender, titled "Development of an online marketplace," falls under the IT services category (CPV code 72000000) and is currently at the tender stage. The deadline for submissions is set for 2nd October 2020, and the contract period is scheduled to commence on 1st December 2020, lasting for one year until 1st December 2021. This procurement is being carried out through a limited competitive quotation process, primarily targeting small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those specialising in software development and internet solutions. Companies that offer innovative digital solutions for event management, user engagement, or marketplace functionalities would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, with the backing of grant funding for the project, businesses that can demonstrate a solid proposal and adhere to the grant approval requirements may find a strategic pathway for business growth through this procurement.

## Notice

Orfi Active began as a solution to a problem. If you move to a new area, how do you find sports teams and fitness activities? How do you discover new sports you've never tried before? If you want to organise these events yourself, how do you draw in participants? These were the questions faced by Orfi founder Jonas Urbonas when he moved to London in 2011 and over the last seven years, those experiences have inspired him to create Orfi Active, an app that provides the answers. The app can be used either to organise or participate. As an organiser you create sports and fitness events, manage payments, and ensure drop-outs don't affect the quality of your sessions through waiting lists and group chats. Plus recurring events cut down on admin, leaving you free to enjoy your sessions. As a participant you can see what is happening near you and around the country and book your place quickly and simply. We wish to commission the development of an online marketplace between organisers of sport and participants. The purchase of this expertise is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project as a whole. Details of how to apply are included within the invitation to tender.
