Notice Title

Content Management System - University of Aberdeen

Notice Description

The University's current Content Management System (CMS) supports the publication and maintenance of content (templates, text, images and videos) on the University's corporate website (https://www.abdn.ac.uk). It also enables the publication of content from many locally developed web applications (eg: StaffPages, News & Events, Prospectuses). The current system is now only receiving stability and security patching from the vendor. As a result, the University is seeking to procure a modern, supported CMS which can meet current and future needs for the institutional web presence, and reduce the need for bespoke development.
