Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council procured a website content management system: software for managing and publishing website content. The stated scope is a CMS contract; no further functions or implementation tasks are described. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the requirement is a software system. Delivery is in England. The buyer is Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council, based in Ellesmere Port. The contract was awarded through the G-Cloud 14 framework. This requirement is relevant to software suppliers offering website content management systems for public-sector use, particularly those able to serve a council operating across England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Zengenti Limited. The award date was 31 August 2026. The awarded value is £81,876. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The tender deadline was 31 August 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded through the G-Cloud 14 framework; the procurement method is recorded as “Other”. There is one award and no lots are identified. The evaluation criteria are not described in the available procurement details. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate.

This award demonstrates a council requirement for a website content management system supplied through the G-Cloud framework. The successful supplier, Zengenti Limited, is identified as an SME, showing that a smaller software business won this contract. Suppliers considering comparable council requirements would need to provide a suitable CMS and be able to supply it through the relevant framework route. The procurement data does not describe detailed technical specifications, integrations, hosting, support or implementation duties, so the specific delivery capabilities required cannot be inferred. The buyer’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that the opportunity was not limited to large providers. For future competition on this same requirement, credible suppliers would need relevant CMS capability and framework access.
