## Summary

The University of Aberdeen is currently conducting a tender process for a Content Management System (CMS) classified under the software package and information systems category (CPV 48000000). The procurement, which falls under an open procedure, is at the Tender stage and is active. Bids must be submitted electronically before the deadline on 15th June 2022, with the contract duration set for approximately three years, including the option for up to five one-year extensions, depending on satisfactory performance. The tender process is taking place in Aberdeen, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for technology firms specialising in content management and software solutions. Businesses that offer modern CMS platforms capable of integration and extensibility, alongside strong analytics and security features, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Companies that can demonstrate high-quality project management and implementation capabilities are also likely to benefit from this procurement, making it a viable avenue for growth within the public sector's educational framework.

## Notice

The University's current Content Management System (CMS) supports the publication and maintenance of content (templates, text, images and videos) on the University's corporate website (https://www.abdn.ac.uk). It also enables the publication of content from many locally developed web applications (eg: StaffPages, News & Events, Prospectuses). The current system is now only receiving stability and security patching from the vendor. As a result, the University is seeking to procure a modern, supported CMS which can meet current and future needs for the institutional web presence, and reduce the need for bespoke development.
