## Summary

The public procurement process concerns a contract awarded by Public Health England (PHE) for the project titled "PHE - Web Responsive and Push Notifications Strategy". This initiative falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services, classified with the CPV code 73000000. The procurement method used was classified as 'Other', with the tender period concluding on 24 February 2017. The contract, which is valued at £60,000, has a duration commencing from 27 February 2017 and ending on 28 April 2017, with delivery addresses primarily located in London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specializing in web development, mobile application strategies, and digital consultancy services. Companies that can effectively deliver web responsive applications with capabilities such as push notifications will be well-suited to compete in future tenders. Smaller enterprises, particularly SMEs, may find this an advantageous market given PHE's acknowledgement of their suitability in the procurement process, indicating that the authority encourages participation from diverse business sizes.

## Notice

As browser capabilities improve, there is a growing movement towards Web responsive apps that enable traditionally "native" capabilities like responsive experiences, push notifications, offline storage and potentially open mobile app experiences to a larger audience. In order to safely test this approach, PHE would like to extend one of its existing, successful mobile apps - Easy Meals, which has a single Appcelerater (www.appcelerator.com) codebase and a Wordpress CMS. This would act as a proof-of-concept to test the viability of delivering this service as a web responsive app, ensuring optimal user experience on multiple devices and assessing the technical implications of delivering in this manner. In order to ensure PHE maintains ongoing engagement with users, PHE would like to incorporate push messaging capabilities into our growing portfolio of mobile apps and digital tools. Push messaging has been a key tactic for motivating and communicating with the public while strengthening the PHE brands and responding to user needs in an on-going way.
