UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Telford & Wrekin Council is seeking a supplier to provide and maintain a secure partner portal for organisations to upload and update information about their venues and forthcoming events. The portal must integrate easily with the Council’s SimpleView website. Its purpose is to let organisations manage their information in one place and avoid the need for local destinations to run separate listings platforms. This is a digital service and web software development requirement, rather than a purchase of physical goods or construction work. The users are organisations with venues or events and local destinations using the Council’s website. The buying organisation is the Borough of Telford & Wrekin, and the service is intended to support destination information associated with Telford and Wrekin.

The Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender submission and enquiry deadlines were both 26 October 2026 at 12 noon. The planned contract period runs from 16 November 2026 to 15 November 2029, with an option to renew for 12 months, to a maximum end date of 15 November 2030. The estimated value is £20,000 excluding VAT and £24,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 60% on quality and 40% on price. Electronic submission is permitted. The process reached the tender stage, meaning the Council invited suppliers to submit offers. The stated competition is not described as cancelled or withdrawn.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to deliver and support secure partner portals, including the technical work needed to embed a portal within an existing website. Relevant strengths include web software development, secure management of user-submitted information, and ongoing maintenance. Suppliers should be able to make the portal straightforward for organisations to use when updating venue and event listings, while reducing duplicate data entry and the need for separate destination listings systems. The requirement calls for a service that supports multiple contributing organisations and presents their information through the Council’s SimpleView website. The stated scope indicates a focused digital service rather than a large works programme. The Council’s evaluation places greater weight on quality than price, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate how their proposed portal and support meet the functional requirement.
