Development of an online marketplace

Tender description

Orfi Active began as a solution to a problem. If you move to a new area, how do you find sports teams and fitness activities? How do you discover new sports you've never tried before? If you want to organise these events yourself, how do you draw in participants? These were the questions faced by Orfi founder Jonas Urbonas when he moved to London in 2011 and over the last seven years, those experiences have inspired him to create Orfi Active, an app that provides the answers. The app can be used either to organise or participate. As an organiser you create sports and fitness events, manage payments, and ensure drop-outs don't affect the quality of your sessions through waiting lists and group chats. Plus recurring events cut down on admin, leaving you free to enjoy your sessions. As a participant you can see what is happening near you and around the country and book your place quickly and simply. We wish to commission the development of an online marketplace between organisers of sport and participants. The purchase of this expertise is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project as a whole. Details of how to apply are included within the invitation to tender.
