This project falls under the software package and information systems industry, with a focus on developing a web-based platform for idea generation from staff. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, which will conclude on 13th June 2019. The planned contract period will commence on 27th June 2019, lasting until 27th June 2020. Interested parties can deliver solutions to the United Kingdom, as well as other regions including the British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands, under an open procurement method. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in software development, user experience design, and technical support services, to engage with a respected humanitarian organisation. Companies capable of creating adaptable and user-friendly digital platforms would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, potentially expanding their reach and fostering growth through collaboration with the British Red Cross on innovative projects that address pressing humanitarian challenges. ## Notice The British Red Cross helps millions of people in the UK and around the world to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies, disasters and conflicts. For example, our volunteers and staff help people in crisis to live independently by providing support at home, mobility aids and transport. We are part of the global Red Cross and Red Crescent humanitarian network. We refuse to ignore people in crisis. The British Red Cross are in the process of launching several initiatives to drive innovation across the organization to enable staff and volunteers to better unlock potential, meet changing needs and in turn help more people in crisis. One of these is the British Red Cross Ideas Platform. Lots of fantastic, innovative ideas exist across the organisation but we don't yet have a systematic approach and framework to gather and harness these effectively. We are looking for an impactful and effective solution to help us identify problems and come up with solutions whilst engaging our staff and volunteers. Specifically, we would like to focus around ideas to: raise more money; boost our reach; show our impact; work better together.
