Summary of the contracting process

The University of Worcester procured web content management services: a web content management system to support the creation, management and publication of the university’s online content. The requirement is classified as content management software and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with the university’s Worcester site, with the buyer based at Henwick Grove, Worcester, England. The appointed supplier is Zengenti Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in this type of digital content management work. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs. This is a buyer-specific digital service requirement rather than a purchase of general-purpose software alone, so relevant suppliers would be those able to provide, configure and support a web content management system for a university environment.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to Zengenti Ltd on 16 July 2026 for £101,304. The awarded contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 30 July 2029. The wider procurement value was £134,784, with the tender describing a three-year contract and an option to extend by one further 12-month period; the stated contract period runs to 30 July 2030. The requirement was sourced through a selective procedure as a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026. The procurement was conducted as a services contract, with one web content management system requirement and one successful supplier.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence of demand from the University of Worcester for a managed web content management capability delivered through a public-sector framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven platform and the ability to provide the associated implementation, configuration and ongoing support needed by a university website team. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate relevant experience delivering content management systems in comparable education or public-sector settings, with sufficient technical and service capacity to support a multi-year arrangement. SME status is compatible with this requirement, and experience of the G-Cloud framework and its call-off process would help a supplier compete effectively when a similar requirement returns.
