SoIN Tourism / Clark-Floyd Counties Convention & Tourism Bureau Website Redesign RFP (2026): Scope and Requirements
Closed July 1, 2026. SoIN Tourism, the Clark-Floyd Counties tourism bureau in Indiana, wanted a website redesign, a CRM, a structured CMS and a partner portal to replace its single all-in-one platform.
What decided it
Integration and functionality led at 20% each, and tourism experience was only 5%. Vendors could bid on single components or the whole stack. This suited a technical team that could show CRM, CMS and portal work together.
Who it suited
Best suited to a studio with tourism experience and three references. The RFP also stated a local, ownership or certification preference. Integration capability carried the most weight, at 20% of the score.
