Notice Title
Website Development & Maintenance Framework Agreement
Notice Description
THIS IS A CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE AND AS SUCH THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS IS COMPLETE. We are seeking a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to maintain our existing site infrastructure and support planning, design and delivery of all future development enhancements and upgrades, including either incorporating the remaining sites or redeveloping on a new instance of Umbraco. They will therefore be required to have the capabilities and capacity to support us through entire project lifecycles including provision of individual/s who are experienced Umbraco and Microsoft developers. Not all projects within this framework will be new builds, however, all websites in scope will require further development and maintenance work throughout the framework period. Sites may be added/removed as and when required. The Framework will commence on 1st January 2022 and be for an initial period of 3 years, unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Framework, with the option to extend for a period or periods together not exceeding 1 year following the Initial Term. The initial 3 year budget currently available to deliver this service is between GBP350k and GBP450k (excluding VAT), however we anticipate that the total value of services that may be provided under the Framework during its whole term may be up to GBP900k.
