Summary of the contracting process

North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College procured website development, hosting and maintenance services to replace and support its existing college website. The requirement covers designing and developing the new website, providing hosting and maintaining the site after launch. The work is for the college and is delivered in the United Kingdom. It is a services contract focused on web design and website operation and hosting. The procurement was organised as a single requirement rather than separate service packages, so suppliers needed to offer an integrated capability across implementation, hosting and ongoing support. The buyer is North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College, based at its Nuneaton campus, and the service supports the college’s public-facing digital presence.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Thinkology Ltd on 17 October 2025. The contract was signed on 1 December 2025 and is active. It is an above-threshold open procedure for a maximum estimated value of £250,000 gross; the awarded and contracted value is £179,638.53 gross. The contract runs from 1 December 2025 to 31 October 2029, with up to five 12-month extensions permitted, giving a maximum possible end date of 31 October 2034. The tender closed on 11 August 2025 at 14:00, after enquiries closed on 29 July 2025 at 11:00. Thirty-three bids were received. Evaluation weighted technical requirements at 30%, price at 30%, implementation and support at 20%, presentations at 15%, and social value at 5%.

This award demonstrates demand from a further-education college for an integrated website replacement and continuing digital service, rather than a one-off design exercise. Competitors seeking similar work would need credible web design and development capability, reliable hosting provision, and the capacity to provide responsive maintenance and support throughout a multi-year service. The evaluation shows that technical delivery and price carried equal importance, while implementation and support were also material, so suppliers would need to evidence a dependable transition from an existing website into a managed live service. Strong presentation capability and a clear social-value offer would strengthen a response. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that specialist providers could compete alongside larger digital agencies.
