Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has initiated a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Website Design and Build Services, representing a selective procurement approach through a restricted procedure. The process, classified under Software package and information systems (CPV code 48000000), encompasses two specific lots: one targeting WordPress website services and the other Umbraco platform services. The DPS will operate until 8th October 2027 and is intended to offer flexibility in securing competent developers for ongoing and individual project needs. The contracting authority, Leicester City Council, resides in Leicester with further details accessible on their official webpage or through the contact, Mrs Pamela Chirara. Submission of electronic bids is encouraged, and the procurement stage is currently active for the tender.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in WordPress and Umbraco CMS platforms to secure contracts with a prominent regional authority. The dynamic nature of the DPS allows a wide range of companies, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with specialised skills in CMS development, to participate and compete for projects on demand. Successful participants may benefit from ongoing engagement through technical support arrangements and one-off development projects, thus fostering potential growth and establishment in the public sector market. With an emphasis on both quality and price, detailed in award criteria, this tender invites web companies that can deliver high standards of design, technical service, and maintenance support to bid.
