## Summary

The recent public procurement process led by Perth & Kinross Council sought proposals on improving the management and responses to visitor hotspots in rural and remote areas of Scotland. This tender title, relating to the services industry, aims to address infrastructure challenges exacerbated by Covid-19 and requires submissions by 12 July 2021. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing for broad participation, and the contract, once awarded, has a value of £650,000 with additional resources available through the CivTech initiative aimed at fostering innovation and collaboration.

This opportunity is particularly suited for technology firms and service providers that specialise in sustainable tourism, infrastructure management, or community engagement solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative approaches or existing technologies that can enhance local tourism experiences or ease the strain on community resources will find this tender appealing. By contributing solutions that create positive impacts for both visitors and local communities, participating suppliers can not only gain valuable contracts but also play a part in advancing sustainable practices in the region.

## 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.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

About CivTech CivTech's mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving challenges that make people's lives better - and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses. CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen. Part of the Scottish Government's Digital Directorate, CivTech's approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better. Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in. The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you - whether you're an individual, team or company - it's an opportunity to take on a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You'll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here's the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren't 'single organisation' problems - most exist worldwide. In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they're developed further [for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator - a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech's unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world.
