## Description

Following a strategic review of the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence \(VEAE\), the decision has been made to modernise the awards, using a region-fed national awards system\. The findings from the review highlighted that the application process needs to be simpler - currently applicants apply twice using two different systems, which are not integrated in any way\. The aim is to achieve a unified awards programme that will require aligned processes and systems - it has therefore been identified that by licensing an awards management software, that is also available for the regional 'feeder' awards competitions to use, this will help to meet these requirements\. The new system will need to provide a front-end website options and back-end application submission and management portal for both VisitEngland and the regional 'feeder' awards organisers, and will involve configuration, implementation, set-up and adoption for VisitEngland and currently up to 20 regional awards competitions\.
