- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
CotswoldsPlus Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP) seeks a suitably qualified provider to deliver a data platform that provides an excellent overview of the performance of the regional visitor economy, that helps to establish regional measurement standards for visitor economy performance, and provides deep insights into visitor demographics, attitudes and behaviour, as well as economic trends within the visitor economy.
The platform will be designed to deliver on the following:
1. Switching emphasis from driving visitor numbers to driving higher quality of engagement and volume of spend.
2. Dispersal of visitors to reduce over-tourism in some LVEP destinations and growing visits in others.
The requirement is for the creation of a data platform that can:
• Link to and ingest data from varied sources
• Display live and ingested data in user-friendly ways
• Allow for custom reporting
• Produce useful insights from all data
• Provide an access permission structure that facilitates easy administration across multiple partners and user groups
• Be commercialised (e.g. paywalls to specific insights, or paid platform access), allowing the platform to continue beyond the scope of this three-year project.
