This project falls under the Web server software development services industry category, with a primary location in Colchester, East of England. The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, following an open procedure. Key dates include a tender submission deadline of 6th December 2024, development, and testing completion by 31st May 2025, and the go-live date scheduled for 1st June 2025. The contract will run for three years with the potential for a two-year extension based on performance. The expected contract value ranges between £50,000 and £100,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software and web application development, particularly those with expertise in creating comprehensive digital solutions for the commercial sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as the council recognises their potential suitability for this contract. The project will help local businesses, retailers, and the public by facilitating the use of an eCargo Bike delivery service through a user-friendly web application. This opportunity is ideal for firms capable of delivering robust, scalable web solutions and those potentially interested in mobile app development, as this is a desirable but not essential aspect of the project. ## Notice Colchester City Council (the Council) wishes to commission a contractor to develop a Web app to bring together local businesses, shops, retailers other traders (e.g. popup shops, regular and other markets, special events) and members of the public who could be their potential customers, and to connect them all with the idea and process of using an eCargo Bike delivery service to collect and deliver items they have ordered, or for another reason, need moved all across Colchester. We therefore require as our essential requirement a single web application software program hosted on a web server and accessed through a web browser (rather than installed on user's computer) is acceptable. The application should natively support standard browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Safari, operating systems iOS and Windows devices, and automatically tailor the display of the website to the device it is being viewed on. A desirable option would be a supporting mobile app, code and resourcing allowing, however this is not an essential" Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. Development and Testing will be completed by 31st May 2025, with go live from 1st June 2025 for 3 years, with the option to extend for up to a further 2 years (1+1), subject to performance. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0288f17-7b1a-41fd-a501-0ee606930f05 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 6 Dec 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2025 - 31 May 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | COLCHESTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | COLCHESTER | | Post town | Colchester | | Postcode | CO3 3WG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH34 Essex Haven Gateway | | Local authority | Colchester | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Colchester | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72212222 - Web server software development services ## Release History - 11 Nov 2024 at 16:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0288f17-7b1a-41fd-a501-0ee606930f05 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0288f17-7b1a-41fd-a501-0ee606930f05 11th November 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Colchester:-E-cargo-App-Development/3N44JQHCG6 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
