Summary of the contracting process

Ceredigion County Council commissioned a consultant review of its cultural heritage and information services websites. The work covers stakeholder workshops with council officers, community groups, residents and culturally excluded groups, assessing the effectiveness of the current digital services and producing a clear, costed action plan for improving each service website. This is a professional consultancy and research service with a cultural and digital focus, rather than website construction alone. The services are delivered for Ceredigion County Council in Ceredigion, Wales. The requirement combines community engagement, user research, digital service assessment and recommendations for website development. It may suit specialist digital consultants, user researchers, web strategy practices and organisations experienced in working with public, community and culturally diverse audiences.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Her Web Solutions, an SME. It used a below-threshold open competition, with quotations evaluated on price. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and runs from 13 July 2026 to 19 September 2026. The contract value is £8,300 including any applicable taxes as recorded. The original tender estimated a value of £12,000 net (£14,400 gross). The enquiry deadline was 12 June 2026 at 12:00pm and quotations were due by 19 June 2026 at 12:00pm. There was one completed lot, covering the full requirement. Participation was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Electronic submission was not permitted.

This award demonstrates a defined need from Ceredigion County Council for practical digital consultancy supporting cultural heritage and information services. A credible future competitor would need to combine structured stakeholder workshops with user research involving officers, community groups, residents and culturally excluded groups. Relevant capability includes reviewing the effectiveness and accessibility of existing service websites, understanding the needs of diverse communities, and turning findings into a clear, costed improvement plan. Suppliers should be able to provide concise recommendations that connect research evidence with realistic website development priorities. Experience in public-sector, cultural, community or information services would help demonstrate relevance, while an SME or voluntary, community or social enterprise profile may align with the stated suitability of the requirement.
