Notice Title

Redevelopment of the LCR BeMore Apprenticeship Portal & creation of Mobile Application

Notice Description

We are looking to procurement the services for the redevelopment of the existing Liverpool City Region (LCR) Be More apprenticeship website (https://be-more.info) for the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) as well as the introduction of a mobile application. The pandemic has seen a huge shift in digital behaviours and expectations and the proposed redevelopment is to create a one-stop solution that not just provides a regionalised apprenticeship service but also serves as a city region digital beacon for careers advice and guidance such as progression pathways and local industry relevant information to a wider audience. Presently, as apprenticeships, skills and careers are so closely linked, there is a requirement for these sources of information to be pulled together in one place and delivered in a more aspirational and engaging way. A three year contract with options to extend annually up to a maximum of two years (1+1) (reviewed on an annual basis) will be awarded to the successful supplier.
