Summary of the contracting process

The Development Bank of Wales procured website development and associated digital services for its public-facing website. The requirement covers website hosting, development, technical support, maintenance and related services needed to maintain continuity and ongoing operation. It also includes consultancy as an option. The work supports the website’s stability, security, functionality and continued service while the bank reviews its future website and digital requirements. The buying organisation is the Development Bank of Wales, based in Cardiff, and delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is a digital services requirement, including website software development and ongoing managed website support. The awarded supplier is S8080, an SME based in Swansea.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award to S8080 following a previous competitive tender via the G-Cloud framework. The award was made on 6 April 2025, with a standstill period ending on 22 May 2025; the contract was signed on 16 May 2025. The contract runs from 19 May 2025 to 18 May 2027, with renewal options extending the maximum period to 18 May 2029, in 12-month increments. The awarded value is £150,000 excluding VAT and £180,000 including VAT. The direct award was evaluated against continuity and operational requirements, including the supplier’s existing knowledge of the bank’s website infrastructure, configuration, content management and technical needs. There was one lot, suitable for SMEs.

This requirement is relevant to digital agencies and managed service providers with demonstrable capability in website hosting, development, support, maintenance and consultancy for a public-facing organisation. Credible competitors would need to combine software development with reliable ongoing service management, security, stability and operational continuity. Experience taking responsibility for an established website environment would be important, including understanding infrastructure, configuration, content management arrangements and technical requirements. The procurement also shows that the buyer values low-risk transition, strong technical handover and knowledge retention where a website is a critical public service. An SME was selected, and the single lot was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a specialist web or digital services business could be competitive when this buyer’s comparable requirement returns to market.

Notice Information

Notice Title

WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT AND ASSOCIATED SERVICES

Notice Description

The Development Bank of Wales has awarded a contract for website development and associated services to S8080 Ltd. The services include hosting, website development, support, maintenance and associated digital services required to ensure continuity and ongoing operation of the Development Bank of Wales' website. This follows a previous competitive tender process undertaken via the G-Cloud framework. The Development Bank of Wales now intends to make a direct award to the incumbent supplier to continue the required services, ensuring continuity of service and avoiding disruption to the website while future requirements are reviewed.

Procurement Information

The Development Bank of Wales intends to make a direct award to S8080 Ltd for the continuation of website development and associated services. S8080 Ltd is the incumbent supplier and has been providing the existing website hosting, development, support and maintenance services. The supplier has detailed knowledge of the Development Bank of Wales' website infrastructure, configuration, content management arrangements and technical requirements. A direct award is considered appropriate to ensure continuity of service, avoid disruption to the live website and maintain the stability, security and functionality of a critical public-facing digital service. Changing supplier at this stage would require a significant transition period, including technical handover, onboarding, knowledge transfer and potential reconfiguration of existing services, which could create operational risk and additional cost. The services are required on an ongoing basis while the Development Bank of Wales reviews its future website and digital service requirements. The proposed arrangement will allow sufficient time for this review to be completed and for any future procurement process to be planned and undertaken in a controlled and compliant manner. The contract value represents the estimated maximum value of the services required during the proposed contract period, including any optional extension period.
