Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Folkestone & Hythe District Council procured a cloud-based content management system for managing and maintaining its council website. The requirement is a renewal of the council’s existing system, covering the software and associated service needed to support website content management. The work is categorised as software packages and information systems, within the broader services category. Delivery is for the council in Folkestone and the wider South East of England. This opportunity is relevant to suppliers of cloud-hosted content management platforms, public-sector website systems and services supporting the ongoing administration and maintenance of council websites.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to JADU CREATIVE LIMITED on 10 July 2026. The award value is £189,312 including the stated contract value, with an initial contract period from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029 and an option to extend by 12 months. The tender deadline was 8 July 2026 at 23:59. The council used a selective procedure as a call-off from Lot 2, cloud software, of the Crown Commercial Service RM1557.14 G-Cloud 14 framework. It was evaluated as a framework call-off rather than an open standalone competition. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the contract covers services for the council website.

The award demonstrates established demand from Folkestone & Hythe District Council for a cloud content management system supporting a public-sector website and replacing an existing platform. A credible future competitor would need a mature cloud-hosted CMS, experience of managing and maintaining council or similarly complex public websites, and the capacity to provide dependable service throughout a multi-year contract. Suppliers should also understand content administration, website governance, accessibility and operational support in a local-government setting, although the published requirement does not state specific accreditations. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that businesses of that scale can compete for this type of requirement. Familiarity with the relevant G-Cloud framework and its cloud-software route would be commercially important.
