This procurement, currently in the tender stage, is focused on updating the existing websites to enhance access to business support within the region. The tender is open until 20th December 2021, with a total estimated contract value of £117,000. The project's location is in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, within the Yorkshire and the Humber region, and is supported through various grants and funding sources. This contract presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in website development, user experience design, and digital marketing solutions, particularly those that can integrate robust grant application portals or learning management systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the project aims to attract skilled contractors who can enhance the functionality and efficiency of the Barnsley service offerings. Bidders are also invited to propose additional features to support future enhancements, making this a valuable opportunity for innovative service providers. ## Notice During Covid 19, the Enterprising Barnsley service had to pivot and change its delivery method. With being a trusted source of information, we had to move from people mainly contacting us via phone, to an online web chat function and self help through a daily updated Covid Landing page. Whist the support we offered worked and businesses in the borough found it very useful, it became clear that due to the age of the website and issues with the original company who built it going out of business, it is no longer fit for purpose. In addition, we have the ambition to make sure any business in Barnsley can access some form of business support. Due to the cost of integration of the current model, this needs to build on the self service model we used during Covid 19. An LMS as well as making sure it is easy for companies to find information that is relevant to them quickly and effectively is key to this. It has been decided that a full rebuild of the current Enterprising Barnsley and DMC's websites is the best approach to achieve the outcomes we are wanting. Whilst doing this, it makes sense to refresh the visual brand of the Enterprising Barnsley service to bring it in line with the work done for the branding of the DMC's & the Seam. The work also needs to integrate a grant application portal which will allow businesses a smoother easier and clearer way of applying for a range of business support grants than the current process. This will also allow BMBC staff to be more efficient in the management of these grants, ultimately increasing productivity and reducing time for the support to reach the businesses. We are wanting a single log in to the website where businesses can log in and see all different grants they have applied for as well as the any learning they have undertaken on the LMS. This single log in will allow us to add in extra functionality in the future if more funding is secured to help improve the service we deliver even further. With this in mind, we would welcome the organisations bidding for the work to propose a road map of what additional features they feel could be integrated into the websites going forwards. This project is funded by a variety of grants including ERDF, Launchpad, Digital Innovation Grant, Business Productivity Programme, BMBC & Other contributors. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4936cada-8570-4707-aaa9-b18851ed0c96 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Dec 2021 | | Submission deadline | 20 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2022 - 31 Jul 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £117,000 | | 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 | BARNSLEY METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BARNSLEY, SOUTH YORKSHIRE | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S70 2TA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE33 Barnsley | | Local authority | Barnsley | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Barnsley North | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72212480 - Sales, marketing and business intelligence software development services - 72212481 - Sales or marketing software development services - 72413000 - World wide web (www) site design services - 72415000 - World wide web (www) site operation host services ## Release History - 10 Dec 2021 at 14:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4936cada-8570-4707-aaa9-b18851ed0c96 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4936cada-8570-4707-aaa9-b18851ed0c96 10th December 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=41443&B=UK Please click link above for procurement documents. - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/103835 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.barnsley.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
