This procurement falls within the services category, specifically focusing on sales or marketing software development services. The tender is being conducted through an open procedure, with a deadline for submissions set for 12th January 2018. The project is situated in Halesowen, West Midlands, with a contract period commencing on 1st February 2018 and concluding on 30th April 2018. The estimated budget for this contract ranges from £13,000 to £15,000. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in website design, implementation, and brand guidance, particularly those that can demonstrate a strong portfolio in these areas. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find themselves particularly well-suited to compete, given the college's focus on enhancing its professional image through this project. Firms with the capability to provide innovative design solutions and robust hosting services will be able to leverage this opportunity to expand their business in the education sector. ## Notice The current public website for Halesowen College has been developed and hosted on-premises. Whilst this is advantageous for reasons such as extensibility, customisability, and access to data, it also requires development/maintenance time and relies heavily the College's infrastructure. As such, there is no robust hosting solution in place and the uptime of the website relies on the main campus' network connection being alive which is difficult to guarantee and certainly doesn't offer 100% uptime. The College is also currently undergoing changes to solidify a more professional brand and image and to improve the coherence of the brand across platforms such as the external website. We are in the early stages of development with this and, as such, would like to use the website as a means of designing and launching this new professional image. Design flair, vision and awareness of competitor solutions are traits necessary to undertake this project. A strong portfolio of work relating to website design/implementation and brand guidance is also essential. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ae7cf7f-5a0b-4c67-aade-ba4f6efed828 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jan 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2018 - 30 Apr 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000 | | 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 | HALESOWEN COLLEGE | | Locality | HALESOWEN | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B63 3NA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG36 Dudley | | Local authority | Dudley | | Electoral ward | Belle Vale | | Westminster constituency | Halesowen | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72212481 - Sales or marketing software development services ## Release History - 6 Dec 2017 at 11:24 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ae7cf7f-5a0b-4c67-aade-ba4f6efed828 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ae7cf7f-5a0b-4c67-aade-ba4f6efed828 6th December 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC149279 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.halesowen.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
