Notice Information

Notice Title

Better Buckinghamshire Digital Support

Notice Description

In April 2020 the five former councils in Buckinghamshire became a new unitary authority, Buckinghamshire Council. We developed a MVP site prior to launch and have steadily added functionality in the interim, but the contract for that work is approaching its end. We therefore want to work with a service design and digital development partner to build on the work that's been done to date by redesigning and migrating the services that are still delivered through our legacy websites, so that the old sites can be closed down.
