This procurement falls within the services industry category, specifically focusing on website design services. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline set for submission on 25th February 2020. The contract period is expected to commence on 27th March 2020 and conclude by 31st March 2021, with a budget ranging from £100,000 to £150,000. The project will require suppliers to submit their proposals through the designated e-tendering system. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in website design and development, particularly those with experience in creating user-friendly, integrated web solutions. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, as they are well-suited to meet the varying needs of the West of England Combined Authority. The project is pivotal in improving the Authority's digital presence and efficiency, creating potential for growth in businesses that can demonstrate innovative approaches to web design and development. ## Notice WECA's owns several websites - WECA, Growth Hub, Invest Bristol & Bath, Apprenticeship Hub West, plus Travelwest migrating to WECA in 2020. All the sites were developed independently at different times, for different audiences, without integration. The websites are not providing a consistent identity for WECA, nor are they providing a good user experience for the audiences they target. User journeys are confused & fragmented. Website functionality is not meeting the requirements of WECA teams. The various websites are currently hosted on different platforms and use different development systems, meaning in-house updates are restricted and ongoing maintenance can be costly. The website is a core communication tool with the public, our partners, stakeholders and colleagues. We need to redevelop all WECA websites, to ensure a clear, coherent solution which meets different audience needs and increases WECA's visibility. This will enhance WECA's reputation and improve our ability to meet objectives.* The project will be split into three phases; 1) research, scoping, & solution proposal 2) design development, 3) content population and approval. * CRM systems are not included in the website redevelopment budget.
