The Council of the City of Sydney ("the City") invites Tenders for the carrying out of the City of Sydney Location Analytics and Insights services in accordance with this Request for Tender.

The City is seeking a location analytics platform to enable the organisation to access aggregated data and insights to understand visitation and movement patterns across different land use, building or asset types and how these trends vary both spatially and temporally across the local area.

Access to additional metrics such as spend data for catchments of interest, would be considered favourably as part of the service offering.

The service solution must present a strong data visualisation and spatial mapping component which can allow the City to demonstrate how activity levels differ by geographic area, land use, building or asset use as well as demonstrating movement patterns and flows of City users between different geographic locations and points of interest.

Tenderers must submit tenders in the manner required by this document.

Any contract departures need to be submitted at least 5 working days before the close of the tender.
