This tender, which falls within the "services" category, is based in the West Midlands, England. The procurement stage is now complete, with an award made on 29th October 2018 to Big Blue Door Ltd for a contract value of £125,000 commencing on 1st November 2018 and concluding on 31st October 2023. The tender was initially published on 22nd August 2018 and had a submission deadline of 17th September 2018, following an open procurement method for the selection of suppliers. This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in CMS solutions, digital services, and web optimisation. Companies that can demonstrate flexibility in product design, advanced workflow management, and user experience enhancements would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future tenders. With the ongoing emphasis on integrating digital standards and customer engagement through effective website management, businesses that align their offerings with public sector needs in the digital landscape can secure valuable contracts and expand their market reach. ## Notice City of Wolverhampton Council has gone through a three-year transformation programme to centralise customer contact and identify all transactional services - apply, book, pay, report, request etc. In parallel a channel shift initiative has been undertaken to optimise the current corporate website, establish digital standards/publishing model and all evaluate the 'digital real estate'. The organisation now has over 15 key websites as well as satellite campaign websites. We now require a CMS which: * Is a flexible product which will support our vision to consolidate websites to be housed under one solution * Has the ability to develop new subsites/campaign pages with varying style and attributes * Possesses effective workflow management and approval * May have 'bolt ons' which enhance the UX and 'handover' to self- serve. * Creates a seamless journey to encourage customer uptake of the digital 'call to action'.
