## Summary

The procurement process involves the Defra Network eTendering Portal, which is seeking to engage suppliers for the "Provision of new Intranet." This initiative falls under the services category, specifically aimed at enhancing intranet software as identified by the CPV code 48220000. The tender period concluded on 10 January 2020, and the contract is set to commence from 1 April 2020, lasting until 31 March 2030. The total estimated value of the contract is £128,000, and it was conducted through an open procurement method, allowing for broad participation.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in internet and intranet software solutions. Businesses that specialise in modernising digital content management systems, improving user experience, and ensuring collaborative workplace tools would be particularly well-suited to participate. The update is driven by the organisation's need to innovate and adapt to contemporary workplace demands, making it an attractive prospect for forward-thinking suppliers in the digital services sector.

## Notice

AHDB's current intranet was built almost 10 years ago by an agency as a bespoke offering for the organisation. The content management system it uses is Adobe Contribute, which is now an unsupported package, and holds a labyrinth of content which is no longer easy to navigate with no useful search function. The site itself originally was hosted by the agency but has since been migrated to an Azure environment within the AHDB Digital team who currently have sole responsibility for it. No development has taken place for at least three years, mainly due to the complexity of how the intranet was built and developed. AHDB realises that times have changed since our original intranet was developed for us. We want to fully embrace the ways of a modern workplace and empower our employees to work effectively and collaboratively. An audit recommendation that the current intranet offering was improved has led AHDB to decide to act.
