## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is seeking to enhance its recruitment capabilities by procuring a new website through a tender titled "Ministry of Defence Police Recruitment Website." This project, classified under Internet services (CPV code 72400000), will be conducted with a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period closed on 20 January 2021, while the awarded contract commenced on 4 February 2021 and is set to conclude on 3 February 2023. The total value of this contract is £29,720, and the service will be delivered at the Ministry's location in Corsham, England.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in web design and development, particularly those experienced with Content Management Systems and compliance within government frameworks. Companies that are SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) will find themselves well-suited to compete, as the procurement includes requirements for website design, development, hosting, and user testing, thereby allowing for a broad range of innovative solutions tailored to the specific needs of the Ministry of Defence. With a focus on user accessibility and security standards, businesses that excel in these areas will significantly benefit from participating in this contract.

## Notice

Design, to the MDP's specified requirements, and provide a hosting platform for a replacement of the existing Ministry of Defence Police recruitment website, using a Content Management System. The system is required to be accessible via Microsoft and Apple computers (to edit content using the Content Management System), MODNET terminals (used by MDP staff to view the website) and the Internet (for members of the public). The website will need to be mobile-optimised and accessible on all commonly expected devices, operating systems and web browsers so that interested parties and potential recruits can access it effectively from mobile phone, tablet, laptop or desktop devices and operating systems A trial version of the new website must be made available eight weeks after contract signature to allow MDP personnel (including Corp Comms) to test the system and ensure it meets the requirements. As a 'Software as a Service', the cost of the solution package is expected to include: * Website hosting, including provision of required expected bandwidth * Content Management System software solution, e.g. WordPress * Design, development and build of the website to our specifications (but within the confines of the supplied software solution) * Ability to back-up and restore website * Any required licensing, including but not limited to third party licenses Delivery and standards must comply with the G-Cloud framework and any other applicable enforceable documents, including supplier terms and conditions. Hosting platform - The hosting environment will include technical support and disaster recovery. Before the website goes live it will need to be accredited by DAIS using the Defence Assurance Risk Tool (DART), undergo security testing (i.e. vulnerability scanning) and will be SSL certified in line with required MOD security standards. An initial risk assessment has been undertaken using the Supplier Cyber Protection Service. User testing - In order to meet GDS standards, user testing must be incorporated in the development phase. It is expected that this would be carried out informally, organised by MDP/MOD but, with access to the test site and findings/recommendations to be addressed by the selected development team. Training - An initial training package must also be provided to ensure that Corp Comms staff are provided with appropriate training prior to the 'go live' date. The intention would then be for future cascade training to be delivered internally. If a requirement for future external training is identified this would be subject to a separate request.
