## Summary

Leicestershire County Council is currently running a tender for the "ESPO Web Project," aimed at developing a comprehensive website that integrates both their procurement framework and catalogue. This initiative falls under the services category within the software industry, specifically relating to database and operating software packages, and networking software. The procurement process is at the active tender stage, with submissions due by 15 April 2019. The project location is within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom, with the contract period scheduled to start on 1 May 2019 and run until 30 November 2020. The procurement method outlined is an open procedure.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in web development, content management systems (CMS), and software solutions to participate in a significant project. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply. Competitors should ideally possess expertise in implementing cloud-based CMS platforms and managing extensive product listings, as they may be required to either provide the CMS or recommend a vendor for the council to licence directly. This contract not only offers a chance to gain a long-term partnership with a public sector entity but also to showcase innovative web solutions within a large-scale framework.

## Notice

ESPO is looking for a provider to develop and implement a website to encompass both their procurement framework and catalogue requirements, rather than have two separate instances. This new website will require a cloud based CMS platform to manage ESPO's 25,000 products and procurement framework portfolio as well as ESPO's general content as outlined above. The CMS platform will need to have the functionality required to support the new website. ESPO is looking for Suppliers to either provide the CMS Platform as part of its solution or, alternatively, to identify its recommended CMS Platform for ESPO to licence directly with the CMS Platform vendor on terms to be identified as part of its Tender. The new website will need to allow for seamless transition of processes and data from the existing websites and to eventually retire the existing sites.
