## Summary

Westminster City Council has completed the award phase for their procurement of corporate website hosting services, titled "BT137 - RM1557.13 - Corporate Website Hosting". This procurement falls under the industry category of "Miscellaneous software package and computer systems" and also includes internet and intranet software development services. The contract, valued at £88,480, will start on 4th November 2024 and end on 31st January 2026. The selected supplier is Big Blue Door Limited, based in Slough. The procurement process was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement, highlighting a selective procurement method. The location for the primary service delivery is London, UK, with key procurement dates including the tender period ending on 14th October 2024 and the contract award on 15th October 2024.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in website hosting and software development to engage with an established local authority. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited for this contract, as Westminster City Council has expressed a preference for engaging with SMEs to ensure value for money and quality service. The three-month transition period outlined in the contract allows new suppliers the necessary time to ensure a smooth transition, potentially fostering long-term relationships and paving the way for future contracts with the council.

## Notice

The WCC corporate website was built and hosted in 2020 under a hosting contract. This is managed by the Digital & Innovation Customer Experience Team. To ensure value for money and service quality, the team wish to go out again for a full procurement to secure a new contract to transition before the end of January 2025. This will include at least a 3 month period to transition to a new supplier (should another be selected).
