COUNTER: CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COUNTER REPORT
VALIDATION TOOL

Introduction

COUNTER is committed to improving the standard known as the COUNTER Code of
Practice for counting the use of electronic resources. It is also committed
to assisting publishers and vendors’ compliance with the Code of Practice.
SUSHI (Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI)
Protocol) is the NSI/NISO Standard (ANSI/NISO Z39.93-2014) which defines
automated request and response model for harvesting e-resource usage data.
It replaces the time-consuming user-mediated collection of usage data
reports, saving producers requirement.
Funding from the EBSCO Foundation is enabling the development of a COUNTER
Report Validation Tool. This site will save the producers of COUNTER usage
reports time and duplicated effort and ensure improved compliance with the
COUNTER Code of Practice.

Scope of this call for proposals

This call seeks proposals for the development of the COUNTER Report
Validation Tool, as detailed in the requirements document. Bidders will
also find the NISO SUSHI Protocol helpful background.
COUNTER will work with the successful contractor in creating final user
stories and detailed specifications, and expects an agile approach with
frequent interaction with the team and is expecting a collaborative approach
