UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia commissioned a new website for the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich. The requirement covers website design, development and ongoing operation and support. The new site is intended to replace the existing 2019 website and reflect the Sainsbury Centre’s Living Art concept, acting as a multichannel media hub and presenting its seasonal exhibition programme clearly. The design should respond to the timeless, modern architecture of the Sir Norman Foster building. The work is a digital services requirement for the Sainsbury Centre, including world wide web site design and website operation and hosting services. Delivery is associated with the University of East Anglia and the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition conducted through a Request for Quotation to a closed list of suppliers. One lot was awarded to Substrakt Limited. The award is active and the contract was signed on 18 September 2026, with a contract period from 18 September 2026 to 30 May 2030. The awarded contract value is £194,544 gross. The requirement combines creation of the new website with three years of maintenance and service provision after the site goes live. The recorded procurement category is services. The selected supplier is Substrakt Limited, a Birmingham-based small and medium-sized enterprise.

This procurement shows demand from a university and cultural institution for a partner able to combine strategic website design with practical delivery, hosting or operation, maintenance and continuing support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate experience replacing an established cultural or public-facing website, while improving content presentation and supporting a multichannel media offer. Relevant capability includes translating a distinctive institutional identity and architectural setting into a modern digital experience, structuring seasonal exhibition or event programming clearly, and delivering a dependable transition from the existing site. Ongoing service capacity matters as well as creative work: suppliers should be able to support, maintain and operate the platform throughout its service life, with sufficient resource for a substantial institutional website.

Notice Description

The Sainsbury Centre would like to engage with an expert website design partner to create a new website for the Sainsbury Centre. The goal is to replace the outdated 2019 website, as well as the provision of ongoing maintenance and support for a period of three years following the new site going live. The new website should embody the Sainsbury Centre's Living Art concept, function as a multichannel media hub, clearly communicate the seasonal exhibition programming structure, and reflect a design ethos aligned with the timeless and modern architecture of the Sir Norman Foster building. The Sainsbury Centre are issuing this opportunity as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) to a closed list of suppliers as we expect cost to fall below the public procurement threshold. Following 'go live' date of the website, a three year maintenance and service provision will commence.
