Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Historic Environment Scotland is seeking to continue its partnership with Storm ID for the maintenance and support of the HES Website, alongside associated sites such as Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle, for an additional 12 months. The current procurement process is at the award stage, with the contract value set at £102,266. The procurement falls under the category of IT services, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, and internet support. The award was confirmed on 12th April 2021, following an expedited limited procurement method without prior publication due to a strategic digital review influenced by Covid-19 impacts.

This opportunity presents substantial potential for businesses specializing in IT services, particularly those with capabilities in website hosting, maintenance, and support. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and firms with experience in working with national or federal agencies, especially in heritage and tourism contexts, would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. The current alignment with ongoing digital strategy revisions indicates a demand for innovative solutions and support services that can adapt to evolving organizational needs.

Procurement Information

This contract was awarded through Lot 5 of the Scottish Government Marketing Services Framework in 2014. HES was due to re-tender this service again from a Scottish Government Framework however HES are currently undergoing a full scale digital review. Due to the impact of Covid-19 on their digital activity, HES are now revising their Digital Strategy in order that it is fit for purpose for the future. As a result the intention is to extend with the incumbant supplier for 12 months to allow this review to be completed and to ensure we are tendering for a service that will meet the organisation's objectives
