Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Refugee Council commissioned website development services to redesign and consolidate four existing websites into one unified platform. The scope covers its main website, the Refugee Festival Scotland website, the concluded Cross Borders programme website and the New Scots website, in which the council is a partner. The aim is to reduce duplicated effort, improve consistency for users and lower the cost of maintaining several separate sites. This is a digital service and website development requirement, classified under CPV 72413000. The buying organisation is the Scottish Refugee Council, a charitable third-sector organisation based at Portland House in Renfield Street, Glasgow. Delivery is associated with Glasgow.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following an open procedure. One lot covered the full website consolidation project. Bids closed at noon on 20 July 2026, with bid opening at the same time; the award period began on 20 July 2026. The estimated value was £30,000, while the active contract was signed on 14 September 2026 for £29,500. The contract runs from 31 August to 18 December 2026. Whereverly Limited was selected as supplier. Evaluation included an economic check that bidders were not insolvent or in financial distress, and staff names and qualifications were required. Variants were allowed, bids had to be in English, and 28 electronic bids were received, all from SMEs.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need demonstrable website design and development capability, including the ability to merge several established sites into a single coherent platform. Experience managing content, navigation, branding and user journeys across multiple websites would be relevant, particularly where different programmes or partner organisations are involved. Suppliers should be able to provide named, suitably qualified staff and show that their organisation is financially stable. The previous competition attracted strong SME participation, indicating that the work can be delivered by a focused digital agency rather than only a large systems integrator. A supplier familiar with charities, public-facing information services and accessibility-conscious user experiences would be well placed to compete.
