Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Experience Campus Ltd is procuring website design, redevelopment and hosting services for its three main websites: mandsbankarena.com, lexliverpool.com and exhibitioncentreliverpool.com. The requirement covers reviewing the existing sites, redesigning them and providing ongoing hosting. It is a digital, marketing and advertising services contract supporting the organisation’s venues and visitor-facing activity in Liverpool. The buyer is Liverpool Experience Campus Ltd, based at Kings Dock, Liverpool. The work is classified under advertising and marketing services, including advertising consultancy, advertising and marketing services. This opportunity is relevant to agencies and digital suppliers able to combine website strategy, user-focused design, technical redevelopment, hosting and ongoing website support for a multi-site venue or destination organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 11 September 2026 to Ten4 Design Ltd. The award value is £225,000 gross for one lot. The contract award period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option, at the buyer’s discretion, to extend for a further two years to 30 September 2031. The tender used an open competitive flexible procedure. Tenderers submitted a full tender and a Procurement Specific Questionnaire was assessed first, followed by scored questions for those passing the pass/fail requirements; the four highest-scoring tenderers were then invited to present. Twenty-four bids were received, with 15 reaching the final stage. Evaluation weighted quality at 50%, costs at 40% and social value at 10%.

This completed procurement shows sustained demand from Liverpool Experience Campus for a supplier able to manage several public-facing venue websites as one coordinated service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strength in website review and discovery, information architecture, user-centred design, content presentation, technical redevelopment and secure, dependable hosting. The work also calls for the capacity to support three related websites and to maintain service quality throughout a multi-year arrangement. Strong written tender responses, the ability to pass questionnaire checks and present a clear solution would matter, alongside evidence of delivering comparable digital or marketing projects. The scoring gives quality greater importance than cost and assigns a defined share to social value, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate both delivery capability and wider community benefits.
