The tender is currently at the planning stage, with submissions due by 17 September 2021. The total contract value is £64,500, and the platform must provide functionalities that facilitate content usage rights and centralise workflows. The procurement method follows an open procedure, demonstrating VisitScotland's commitment to transparency and inclusivity in the tendering process. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specializing in digital platforms, content management, and social media integration, particularly those with experience in the tourism and marketing sectors. Companies that can showcase their platforms effectively, preferably through live demonstrations or detailed case studies, will stand out in this competitive bidding process. As VisitScotland intends to retender this requirement within the next 24 to 36 months, successful bidders have the potential for ongoing collaboration and business growth. ## Notice VisitScotland seek a platform to aggregate, moderate and display content from various online sources, primarily social media, on the VisitScotland website and social media channels. As the majority of this content will be generated by third parties, there is a requirement for the platform to facilitate outreach to users for the request of content usage rights. With multiple users requiring access to the information, there is a requirement for the platform to centralize workflows and enable tasks to be assigned to individuals. Ideally VisitScotland is looking for Tenderers to demonstrate their proposed platforms via a live demo, but if not possible, detailed supporting material (including visuals) must describe the platform's functionality. Case Studies outlining how other clients have used the product and the benefits derived from it should also be provided (these do not have to be limited to the travel and tourism sector). ### Lot Information Lot 1 VisitScotland is running an open regulated tender to find a suitably qualified contractor to provide a content aggregation tool. Renewal: The contract will be awarded for 24 months with the option to extend for a further 12 month period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG425864 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Aug 2021 | | Submission deadline | 17 Sep 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | This requirement will be retendered within the next 24 to 36 months. | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £64,500 | | Lots value | £64,500 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | VISITSCOTLAND | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH6 6JH | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Leith | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh North and Leith | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72212783 - Content management software development services ## Release History - 30 Aug 2021 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG425864 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG425864&idx=1 30th August 2021 - Invitation To Tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG425864&idx=2 30th August 2021 - Schedule 1 - Statement of Requirement - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG425864&idx=3 30th August 2021 - Schedule 2 - SPD Document - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG425864&idx=4 30th August 2021 - Schedule 3 - Pricing - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG425864&idx=5 30th August 2021 - Schedule 4 - Form of Contract - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG425864&idx=6 30th August 2021 - Appendix F - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG425864 Content Aggregation Tool - VisitScotland seek a platform to aggregate, moderate and display content from various online sources, primarily social media, on the VisitScotland website and social media channels.
