This initiative is under the IT services category and aims to enhance digital accessibility for apprenticeship services. The procurement period for submitting bids ends on 22 November 2021, with the award date scheduled for the same day. The total budget allocated for this project is £220,000, and the key delivery location is within the UKD7 region. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those experienced in web and mobile application development. Companies that focus on innovative digital solutions that enhance user engagement and provide integrated services related to careers and apprenticeships would be particularly well-suited to compete. With a substantial emphasis on quality, accounting for 70% of the award criteria, firms capable of demonstrating excellence in service delivery and technological capability will be positioned to succeed in this competitive procurement process. ## Notice We are looking to procurement the services for the redevelopment of the existing Liverpool City Region (LCR) Be More apprenticeship website (https://be-more.info) for the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) as well as the introduction of a mobile application. The pandemic has seen a huge shift in digital behaviours and expectations and the proposed redevelopment is to create a one-stop solution that not just provides a regionalised apprenticeship service but also serves as a city region digital beacon for careers advice and guidance such as progression pathways and local industry relevant information to a wider audience. Presently, as apprenticeships, skills and careers are so closely linked, there is a requirement for these sources of information to be pulled together in one place and delivered in a more aspirational and engaging way. Launched in March 2019, Be More, Be An Apprentice attracted national media attention for being the first regionalised solution for online apprenticeship vacancy and advice and guidance. The current solution benefits from apprenticeship vacancies being supplied by the NAS data feed as well as the ability to manually upload vacancies to meet needs of local organisations. ### Lot Information Lot 1 We are looking to procurement the services for the redevelopment of the existing Liverpool City Region (LCR) Be More apprenticeship website (https://be-more.info) for the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) as well as the introduction of a mobile application.
