## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Perth & Kinross Council focuses on improving how visitors experience rural and remote locations particularly known as 'visitor hotspots'. The tender, titled "How do we better plan, manage and respond to the experiences of both people coming to ‘visitor hotspots’ in rural and remote locations, and the communities in the area?", categorises under IT services for consulting and software development. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, having recently extended the submission deadline to 12th July 2021. This project aims to address the challenges faced during Covid-19, particularly concerning infrastructure demand and so forth, while providing an economic boost to local communities in Scotland.

This tender offers significant opportunities for technology firms, consultancies, and businesses engaged in sustainable tourism solutions to contribute to transformative projects aimed at enhancing visitor experiences while supporting local communities. Suppliers with expertise in developing innovative digital solutions, tourism management systems, or environmental tech will find this an ideal platform to propose projects that align with the Scottish Government's commitment to fostering innovation and supporting smaller enterprises within the public sector.

## Notice

Covid-19 restrictions mean that infrastructure designed for visitors and communities near to "visitor hotspots" in rural and remote areas can be overwhelmed, as was experienced throughout 2020. In Scotland, local authorities and other public services anticipate sustained demand on infrastructure, teams, volunteers and resources. The experiences of visitors and residents are all impacted by public services that provide infrastructure for transport and parking, camping, littering and waste management, leisure, health and safety. There is an opportunity to develop technology that can help create positive experiences for visitors and local communities while also contributing to sustainable tourism and the wellbeing including economic benefits of rural and remote communities.
