The procurement process, classified under software package and information systems, is at the tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 14 April 2020. The selected platform will enhance user experience by linking to the City of Culture's event website and ticket purchasing functionality. The contract period will commence on 19 May 2020 and conclude on 31 January 2022, with services to be delivered at the Coventry city centre offices. This opportunity is ideal for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in digital software solutions, particularly those experienced in travel planning applications and event management technology. Businesses that can offer an off-the-shelf product that allows for customisation and integration with existing platforms would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this tender could significantly bolster the presence of such businesses in the public sector and position them for future contracts, especially within the cultural and event management industries. ## 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.
