Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process has reached the award stage for the "Website Development & Maintenance Framework Agreement," initiated by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE). This contract is part of the economic affairs industry and is located in Inverness, Scotland. The framework will commence on 1st January 2022, lasting for an initial period of three years, with a possible extension of one additional year. The total budget for services over the duration of the framework is anticipated to reach up to GBP 900,000, with an initial budget between GBP 350,000 and GBP 450,000, excluding VAT. The award was signed on 21st December 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in website development and maintenance, specifically with experience in Umbraco and Microsoft technologies. Suppliers looking to compete should ideally be able to support full project lifecycles and have a strong portfolio in digital services. The non-exclusive nature of the framework allows for additional contracting authorities to partake, encouraging SMEs and larger firms alike to engage in providing innovative solutions tailored to the needs of HIE and its associates.

The Framework will commence on 1st January 2022 and be for an initial period of 3 years, unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Framework, with the option to extend for a period or periods together not exceeding 1 year following the Initial Term.
