Summary of the contracting process

West Yorkshire Combined Authority, acting for West Yorkshire Police, sought services to host, support and maintain three existing policing websites: westyorkshire.police.uk, npas.police.uk and safetycameraswestyorkshire.co.uk. The requirement covers ongoing web hosting, technical support, maintenance and related internet services, including website development where needed. The work is to be delivered for West Yorkshire Police in West Yorkshire. The service is intended to keep the websites available, secure and functioning as their content and business needs develop. Suppliers would need to support public-facing police websites and manage the associated hosting environment, with potential requirements for additional websites, increased hosting capacity, major fixes and debugging.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submissions via the Bluelight Electronic Tendering Portal. The enquiry deadline was 1 June 2026 at 17:00, and the tender submission deadline was 9 June 2026 at 10:00. The planned contract period was 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions to 31 August 2030. The estimated value was £280,000 excluding VAT and £336,000 including VAT. Evaluation was based on total price at 45%, qualitative questionnaire responses at 45% and social value at 10%. The procurement was cancelled: all suppliers failed the minimum conditions of participation, and the authority planned to reassess its strategy before readvertising next year.

This opportunity suited small and medium-sized enterprises able to provide managed web hosting, website support and maintenance for several public-sector websites. Relevant suppliers would need practical capability in web server and web page technologies, ongoing troubleshooting, debugging and website development, including creating additional sites. They would also need to manage changing hosting requirements and respond to increased support needs as the websites develop. Experience of protecting public-facing websites from malware, spyware, hacking and other cyber threats would be particularly relevant, as security incidents could require work beyond routine monthly support. The procurement also assessed qualitative responses and social value, so bidders needed to explain their service approach and the wider benefits they could deliver.
