Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education commissioned a fixed-fee, agile, user-centred redesign of the Educate Against Hate website. The work covers full redevelopment based on user research, including a complete Alpha phase with prototyping, iterative user testing and refined requirements, followed by a Beta phase covering system build, integration, content design framework application, quality assurance, user testing and final launch. The supplier must work closely with the Department for Education’s Counter Extremism, or CONTEST, teams to support safeguarding, Prevent policy objectives and wider Government priorities. Delivery is across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a website transformation and digital service delivery project, classified under education and training services.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Department for Education used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 15 June 2026 at noon. The contract was awarded to The Dextrous Web on 23 July 2026 for £157,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 29 March 2027. The requirement was presented as a services contract and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is The Dextrous Web. The procurement concerns one website transformation requirement spanning Alpha and Beta delivery phases, rather than separately awarded lots.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for suppliers able to combine user research, content design, software development and delivery management within a single multidisciplinary team. Credible competitors for a future requirement of this type would need experience taking a public-facing website from discovery and prototyping through iterative testing, technical build, integration, quality assurance and launch. Capability to apply structured content design, refine requirements from research and work with policy and safeguarding stakeholders is central to the requirement. Experience supporting Government priorities, particularly Prevent and counter-extremism work, would strengthen a supplier’s position. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist teams with the required delivery capacity could be relevant when this buyer next buys comparable work.
