Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council’s Economic Development team bought website support and maintenance for VisitLincolnshire.com and business.visitlincolnshire.com, including hosting and technical support. This is a digital services requirement focused on keeping two tourism and business websites hosted, supported and maintained. The work is associated with Lincoln, Lincolnshire.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Reed Talent Solutions Limited, trading as Consultancy+. The award date was 29 June 2026 and the contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. The awarded value is £289,668. The council placed the requirement as a call-off from the YPO framework, using a selective procedure. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are identified in the published process information.

For suppliers seeking comparable work from Lincolnshire County Council, this award demonstrates demand for ongoing support of destination and business websites, rather than a one-off build. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable website maintenance, hosting and technical support across more than one site, with the capability to keep public-facing services operating throughout a multi-year arrangement. The buyer used a framework call-off route, so suppliers aiming to compete for a similar requirement should be positioned to participate through the relevant framework. The process also shows that an SME was considered suitable and ultimately selected, indicating that this scale and type of web support can be delivered by an SME.
