## Summary

Hertfordshire County Council is seeking to enhance its digital infrastructure with the provision of a new content management system (CMS), building upon its expired contract in July 2025. The process has reached the award stage, and a contract worth £221,957.72 has been awarded to Zengenti Limited under a selective procurement method via a Direct Award from the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement, specifically Lot 2 for Cloud Software. This opportunity falls within the services category, focusing on content management software, and is located in the East of England. The contract period spans from 18th July 2025 to 31st March 2028.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in digital solutions, particularly those that can cater to government needs for content management systems that necessitate elements like responsiveness, version control, and form management. SMEs will find this contract particularly suitable given the council's recognition of their capabilities as outlined in the tender's suitability criteria. Companies in the field of software development, especially those with experience in cloud-based solutions and public sector digital services, are well-positioned to compete in similar future procurement rounds.

## Notice

The current HCC website content management system contract expires in July 2025. We have placed a Direct Award under the GCloud 14 Framework Agreement (RM1557.14) - Lot 2 - Cloud Software. A search on the Digital Marketplace (for content management system +preview +responsive +version control +form) showed that Contensis is the only CMS that can meet all of our current requirements.
