## Summary

Leicester City Council is conducting a procurement process for the "Provision of Fully Managed Website Hosting Service", aimed at enhancing its digital offerings. This project, classified under the services industry category, has an open procurement method and is currently in the Award stage following a completed tender period that ended on 10th January 2022. The contract period is set to commence from 1st May 2022 and will run until 30th April 2027. The procurement was first published on 26th November 2021, making it crucial for potential suppliers to ensure compliance with the specifications required by the council, located in Leicester, England.

Companies adept in providing resilient and secure hosting solutions, especially those with experience in ASP.NET and Umbraco platforms, would be well-equipped to meet the needs of Leicester City Council. The successful supplier, Tibus, was awarded the contract valued at £80,400, resulting in a robust partnership aimed at maintaining the council's online services.

## Notice

Leicester City Council requires a fully managed website hosting service. As a local authority, Leicester City Council provides residents and businesses with a range of essential services, many of which rely upon the websites and digital offerings that the council manages. It is therefore critical that a highly resilient, secure, and robust hosting solution is in place to ensure maximum site availability and to reduce the risk of significant problems and costs for the Council. Most of the websites owned by Leicester City Council are built in ASP.NET using Umbraco: https://umbraco.com. There are also a small number of HTML based pages and website re-directs which require hosting.
