Cornwall 365 What's On App

Tender description

We are a creative consultancy which promotes Cornwall as a year-round, sustainable cultural destination. Since 2014, we have built a network of over 1,000 businesses from the creative and tourism sectors who work together to spread the word about Cornwall's distinctive cultural offer to visitors and residents alike. From our language to contemporary art, from festivals to food, we have our fingers on the pulse of the rich events scene in Cornwall and are expert cheerleaders for venues, creative producers and communities. We wish to commission an App Developer to create the What's On App. Our outcomes are: • Extend the season by attracting visitors in shoulder months and through the Winter with the huge range of activities that happen across the year. • Show local audiences the events on their doorstep, enabling them to feel part of their communities and engender pride of place. • Increase footfall and engagement in less visited locations, such as those inland or without a flagship venue. • Shine a light on Cornwall's cultural distinctiveness through events that interact with our intangible cultural heritage such as festivals and Feast days. We wish to commission an App Developer to create the What's On App. The App will encompass the following activity: The App will encompass the following activity: Discover > Book > Feed Back Discover will utilise our API events feed, pulling through all of the events listed on Cornwall365.com into the app. Through Book we will integrate a box office system to enable users to easily book a ticket. Feedback will enable us to further develop our In the Loop platform, providing a space for customers to feedback about their experience at venues. On top of this foundation activity we will layer and integrate the following services: Get Me There We will partner with travel organisations to include public transport information, road travel, cycling, and on foot routes. At Home We will partner with Screen Cornwall to bring Cornish film and audio content to the app for an At Home experience. Push Notifications and Geolocation We want to test the use of geolocation and push notifications. Maps We will display events content on maps to make it easy for users to explore and stay longer in a location when attending an event. Accessibility The app will have capabilities to filter the events through different criteria, e.g. flat access, audio descriptions, quiet time visits. Cornish Language We will test and implement different ways of using Cornish, including dual language elements and recorded Cornish content. Find a Friend/ Social Media Type Features We will pilot a feature to enable individuals to have the option of meeting up with another solo attendee.
