## Summary

The procurement process involves Newcastle University seeking to appoint a supplier for the project titled "(NU1589-6) Agency Support for NICD (National Innovation Centre for Data)." The contract, with a budget of £70,000, focuses on building a new website and developing a content strategy for the NICD. This project falls under the business services industry, specifically within marketing and consulting, and is located in the North East of the United Kingdom. The tender was awarded on January 7, 2021, following a selective procurement method, and the contract period runs from January 8, 2021, to March 31, 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in website development, digital marketing, and content creation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have experience in creating user-focused websites and can deliver audience segmentation strategies would be particularly well-suited to compete. The project’s complexity requires suppliers who can effectively translate intricate services into a clear and engaging online experience, making it a promising avenue for growth in the digital services market.

## Notice

Within the last year, the NICD 'site' (currently a subfolder with the main ncl.ac.uk domain) has undergone an internal re-development. However, we're keen to establish ourselves as a separate entity to Newcastle University, and want to not only re-develop the website, but increase marketing efforts across digital channels. We are seeking to appoint a supplier to work on the next phase of NICD, to build a new website, and support on audience segmentation and the development of content. The supplier needs to have the ability to understand quite complex topics and services, and translate these services into a fluid, content-focussed user-journey. The following three areas have been identified as a primary focus for this next phase. 1. New website build 2. Audience segmentation 3. Content strategy
