Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Economy and Skills Website Project" was led by Hampshire County Council, a sub-central government public authority. This contract, categorized under IT services such as consulting, software development, and Internet support, is situated in Winchester, within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process is marked as complete with the award and contract tags and was executed through a limited competition due to its below-threshold classification. The project commenced on 2nd December 2025, with a contract end date on 2nd December 2028, and includes the potential for a one-year extension to manage the new website further, depending on requirements.

This tender presents ample opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Thursday Studio Winchester Limited, which won the contract. The project involves creating a dynamic, interactive portal to display various economic and skills-related initiatives such as Growth Hub events and apprenticeship support, managed by the Hampshire Economy and Skills Team. As the contract's focus is on IT services, businesses specialising in website development, consultation, and digital infrastructure could especially benefit from such procurement opportunities, allowing them to showcase their expertise and expand their portfolios in public sector contracts.
