Lot Information
Lot 1
The Scottish Land Commission invites tenders from experienced digital agencies to undertake the redevelopment of our website to improve user experience, accessibility, and functionality. This project aims to enhance how we engage with stakeholders, ensuring our website is user-friendly, visually engaging, and fit for purpose. The current website has been in place since 2019 and requires a refresh to better reflect our strategic objectives, provide clearer navigation, and improve accessibility in line with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standards. The new website should offer an intuitive experience for diverse audiences, including policymakers, landowners, communities, and the general public. The successful supplier will be expected to work closely with the Scottish Land Commission team to deliver a modern, responsive, and scalable website that aligns with our organisational values and priorities. This Invitation to Tender (ITT) sets out the project requirements, procurement process, and evaluation criteria. Interested suppliers are encouraged to review the full specification and submit proposals demonstrating their expertise, approach, and value for money considerations.
Renewal: The proposed costs for this project must include Year 1 website hosting, support, and maintenance. It is our intention to enter into a separate annual agreement for the continued provision of these services with the appointed supplier, for a minimum term of three years.
