Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Barnet commissioned migration of barnet.gov.uk and wwc.barnet.gov.uk to the LocalGov Drupal open-source platform. The work covers discovery, design, build and go-live for both websites, followed by managed hosting, technical support and maintenance on the new platform. This is a digital service project combining website migration and ongoing operations, rather than a purchase of software alone. Delivery is for Barnet’s two council websites in London.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Invuse Limited on 4 May 2026. It was run as below-threshold limited competition through the CCS G-Cloud 14 framework, with one lot; seven bids reached the final stage. The award value is £109,674 excluding VAT (£131,608.80 including VAT). The contract period runs from 8 November 2026 to 9 November 2029, with an option for a two-year extension. The recorded award information does not set out the evaluation criteria or their weighting.

This award shows demand from Barnet for suppliers able to move existing local-authority websites onto the LocalGov Drupal open-source platform and take responsibility for their continuing hosting, support and maintenance. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate capability across the full delivery lifecycle: discovery and design, Drupal implementation, migration, testing and launch, followed by dependable technical operations for two public-facing sites. The requirement combines project delivery with sustained service capacity, so relevant evidence would include successful public-sector website migrations, Drupal expertise, secure and resilient hosting, responsive support and a track record of maintaining live services. The procurement used limited competition through the G-Cloud framework, and attracted seven final-stage bids, including bids from SMEs. The selected supplier was an SME. This is evidence of a competitive market for the combined service.
