## Summary

In this procurement process, Norfolk County Council, a sub-central government public authority, has concluded the award of a contract for the development of a dedicated website with a content database known as InfoSpace. The process is now in the award stage, which was completed with Creative Sponge Limited, a local SME situated in Norwich, UK. The project falls within the services category, specifically web hosting services, and is valued at £43,175 excluding VAT, with a total gross amount of £51,810. The contract commenced on 7th July 2025, with an expected completion date of 6th July 2028. Given the specific regulations associated with the legal basis, the procurement method was executed under a "below threshold" classification.

This tender can potentially foster business growth opportunities for SMEs similar to Creative Sponge Limited, particularly those specialising in digital services and web development. Businesses well-versed in providing stable and secure web solutions stand to benefit from projects such as these, especially if they have experience dealing with public sector clients. By aligning with Norfolk County Council's digital transformation objectives, companies in the web services industry can leverage such projects to enhance their portfolio and gain a competitive edge in securing similar contracts from other public authorities.

## Notice

Creative Sponge was the designer of our existing site and we have been in discussion with them about rebuilding the site for increased stability and security. We have had discussions with colleagues in NCC Digital Services and they have given us exemption (to use a third party provider instead of in-house build) and know we plan to continue working with Creative Sponge. Using a new third party provide will add significant time and resource over using the current provider to rebuild what they designed and built specifically for us a number of years ago.
