Summary of the contracting process

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) commissioned website design and development services covering the design, build, implementation and ongoing maintenance and support of its website or websites. This is a public-sector digital services requirement, classified as World Wide Web site design services, for delivery in the United Kingdom. The work spans the full website lifecycle: creating the website, putting it into operation and providing continuing technical support and maintenance. It is relevant to digital agencies, web design and development companies, implementation specialists and managed website support providers able to deliver an end-to-end service for a public body. The requirement concerns one website services package rather than separate goods, construction works or unrelated IT supply.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. IPSA selected Wubbleyou Ltd through a limited procedure: a mini-competition under Digital Outcomes and Specialists 7, Lot 1, using an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 for £268,791. The award was made on 16 September 2026. Evaluation placed 60% weighting on responses to technical questions and 40% on price. Twenty-seven bids were recorded for the lot. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The tender is marked complete and its lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract remain active. The contract value includes contingency added by IPSA to the bid price.

This award shows that IPSA buys a complete website service rather than a single design deliverable: suppliers need capability across user-facing web design, technical build, implementation, ongoing maintenance and support. A credible future competitor would therefore need an integrated delivery team able to take responsibility from initial design through operational handover and continuing service management. The evaluation gives greater importance to technical responses than price, so evidence of sound delivery methods, technical competence, service reliability and relevant website experience is likely to matter more than presenting the lowest price alone. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a focused digital business with sufficient capacity for public-sector delivery can compete through the Digital Outcomes and Specialists route.
