This procurement falls within the category of Networking, Internet, and intranet software and is currently in the Award stage, with the contract awarded to Invotra Limited. The tender was published on 8th November 2019, with a tender period that ended on 13th December 2019. The contract is set to commence on 1st January 2020 and will continue for a duration of ten years, ending on 31st December 2029. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in networking and internet software development services. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those that can demonstrate expertise in modern workplace solutions and intranet development. Suppliers well-versed in delivering clean, user-friendly navigational systems and integrating collaborative tools will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice AHDB's current intranet was built almost 10 years ago by an agency as a bespoke offering for the organisation. The content management system it uses is Adobe Contribute, which is now an unsupported package, and holds a labyrinth of content which is no longer easy to navigate with no useful search function. The site itself originally was hosted by the agency but has since been migrated to an Azure environment within the AHDB Digital team who currently have sole responsibility for it. No development has taken place for at least three years, mainly due to the complexity of how the intranet was built and developed. AHDB realises that times have changed since our original intranet was developed for us. We want to fully embrace the ways of a modern workplace and empower our employees to work effectively and collaboratively.
