Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council commissioned a technical review and development project for the websites supporting its cultural heritage and information services. The work covers a structured review of three service websites, with clear and practical recommendations to improve user experience and effectiveness while preserving each service’s distinct identity within the council. The successful contractor is also expected to use the evaluation findings to prepare a costed action plan. This is a professional services requirement combining website and IT consultancy, cultural-sector service understanding, and business or communications consulting. The work is for services delivered in Ceredigion, under the council’s management. The requirement is relevant to website review specialists, digital consultants and agencies experienced in assessing public-facing cultural or information services.

The procurement was an open, below-threshold competition and has been awarded; the tender status is complete. There was one lot, suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Quotations were due by 12:00 on 19 June 2026, with enquiries closing at 12:00 on 12 June 2026. The estimated lot value was £9,000 excluding VAT (£10,800 gross). Price was the stated evaluation criterion. Pobl Tech Ltd was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and has a value of £7,500 excluding VAT. Its recorded contract period runs from 13 July to 30 July 2026, while the tender lot period ran from 6 July to 31 July 2026. Electronic submission was not permitted.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for short, intensive website assessment and improvement planning across several related public services, rather than routine website maintenance alone. A credible competitor would need to show capability in structured website reviews, user-experience assessment, digital effectiveness analysis and translating findings into practical, costed action plans. Experience of working across distinct service identities within a common public-sector organisation would be particularly relevant. Suppliers should be able to combine technical website knowledge with clear written recommendations and an understanding of cultural heritage and public information services. The award to Pobl Tech Ltd, an SME, indicates that the work was deliverable by a focused specialist rather than only by a large systems integrator. Future competitors should be prepared for price-led evaluation.
