Summary of the contracting process

Rutland County Council is seeking a supplier to create a distinctive, sustainable brand identity for Rutland County Museum and design and build a modern, accessible website that reflects the new identity. This is a combined branding and website design service, with the website intended to present the museum consistently with its refreshed identity. The buyer is Rutland County Council, based in Oakham. The stated delivery location is in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery place is identified. The requirement is suited to creative and digital agencies or specialist firms able to develop a museum brand and translate it into an accessible website. The work is treated as a single requirement rather than being divided into separately described lots.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under the below-threshold route. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 30 October 2026 at 23:59 UTC; enquiries were due by 23 October 2026 at 23:59 BST. The planned contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £30,000 excluding VAT (£30,600 including VAT). Bids are assessed on quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%. Quality responses are scored from 0 to 5, from unacceptable to excellent; higher scores reward compliant responses that offer tangible benefits or innovative solutions. The competition covers one lot, which is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The tender was not reported as cancelled or withdrawn.

This is a small, time-limited commission for suppliers able to combine strategic brand development with practical digital delivery. The brief calls for a distinctive and sustainable identity for a county museum, together with a modern, accessible website shaped by that identity. It therefore suits agencies with relevant branding and web design capability, including experience producing accessible digital services and maintaining a coherent visual identity across online outputs. The quality weighting makes the strength, clarity and practical delivery of the proposed approach particularly important alongside price. Responses that demonstrate a clear understanding of the museum’s needs, sound delivery planning, and tangible additional value or innovative ideas are well placed to score strongly. The buyer marks the lot as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller specialist agencies as well as broader design and digital suppliers.»} તરી en?
