## Summary

The procurement process for a new Website Content Management System (CMS) is being led by Leeds Trinity University, located in Leeds, England. The project aims to replace the existing CMS and enhance the external website to support sustainable digital services. The tender, classified under the goods category and with a primary focus on content management software, was officially published on 16th November 2018. The submission deadline for tenders was set for noon on 11th December 2018, with a total available budget of £62,000 excluding VAT for a contract period spanning three years, commencing on 18th January 2019.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in software development, particularly those with expertise in content management systems. Businesses positioned to provide not only the CMS software but also implementation and ongoing support services would be well-suited to compete, particularly those with a strong background in sustainable digital solutions. By participating, organisations can tap into the educational sector's growing need for resilient digital infrastructures, paving the way for future collaborations and projects within this market.

## Notice

The university has identified a need to replace its content management system (CMS) and redevelop the external website, and invites tenders. The project goal is to establish sustainable methods of creating Digital Services for the university external website. Making this sustainable means acquiring a CMS that suits our needs as a smaller institution. We need to be able to maintain our online services, and be resilient to mitigate changes in internal or external personnel. The University's total available budget for this three year contract is PS62,000 excluding VAT, to include * Software Licence costs (CMS application) * CMS Application hosting (SaaS) * Implementation /on-boarding/ initial training costs * Support/Maintenance costs The procurement will be conducted exclusively via the university's e-tendering website, where all documentation can be found and downloaded: https://neupc.delta-esourcing.com/members/leeds-trinity-university/ The project opens at 1400h on 16th November 2018, and the tender submission deadline is Noon on Tuesday 11th December 2018. Access code if required, is 9C2EQX5DYS Additional information: Accessing a Tender Opportunity via the university's e-tendering website:- Once you have created a supplier profile, to respond to an opportunity, click Response Manager or View Invites and Responses. You will then be presented with a list of all opportunities your organisation has previously worked on and be given the option of viewing current invites or entering the access code (9C2EQX5DYS) to begin responding to a new opportunity "The University wishes to clarify pricing: The stated budget doesn't include CMS Application hosting (SaaS) The University is asking for costs as it may move to this in the future but, certainly initially, the CMS will be hosted with the University. CMS Application hosting (SaaS) is in the Standard/Mandatory items on the pricing schedule. It is mandatory to provide the price but the University will not use this as part of the tender scoring. The University apologises for any confusion. CMS Application hosting (SaaS) should have been in the 'other' costs section of the Price worksheet.
