In plain English
Cotswold District Council is buying a data platform for the local visitor economy that collects data from multiple sources, displays it in user-friendly dashboards, and provides custom reports to help tourism destinations understand visitor behaviour and spending. The platform must also be designed to generate income after the three-year project ends, so it can continue operating independently.
What the buyer wants
• Build a data platform that connects to and pulls data from varied sources, then displays it in easy-to-use dashboards and reports • Create custom reporting tools and generate useful insights from the data collected • Set up permission structures so multiple partners and user groups can access and manage the platform easily • Design the platform to be commercialised (e.g. with paywalls or subscription fees) so it can fund itself after the initial three-year contract
