Summary of the contracting process

North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College procured services to replace its existing website and support its operation thereafter. The requirement covered website design and development, website hosting, and ongoing maintenance, with the replacement website intended to support the college’s digital presence. This is a technology services opportunity rather than a supply of physical goods or construction works. The buying organisation is North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College, based at its Nuneaton Campus in England. Delivery was associated with the college and its website, with the procurement covering web design and worldwide-web site operation and hosting services. The requirement is relevant to agencies, software businesses and specialist web service providers able to deliver and support a college website.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender was published on 9 July 2025, and the submission deadline was 30 November 2025. North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College awarded the contract to Thinkology Ltd on 18 September 2026. The awarded value is £179,638.53 including the stated currency of GBP; the original estimated procurement value was £250,000. The contract period runs from 1 December 2025 to 31 October 2029. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement was treated as a services procurement, covering website development, hosting and maintenance, with the contract awarded to one supplier.

This award provides a clear example of the college’s demand for an end-to-end website partner rather than a provider of one-off design work alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine user-focused website design and development with dependable hosting, security, technical support and planned maintenance over a multi-year service period. Experience delivering websites for education or similarly public-facing organisations would help demonstrate an understanding of accessibility, varied audiences, content management and service continuity, although those specific credentials were not stated as mandatory here. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, so a specialist agency or smaller technology business with the necessary delivery capacity could be well placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
