## Summary

The University of Wolverhampton initiated a public procurement process for a new Web Content Management System and Website Design, with the aim of enhancing the institution's digital presence. Located in Wolverhampton, UK, this tender fell under the services category and followed an open procurement method, termed a Competitive Flexible Procedure. Initially active with a tender period ending on 24th October 2025, the process involved two lots—Web Content Management and Website Design. However, this tender was ultimately cancelled on 27th January 2026 after an internal review, as the existing specifications required substantial revisions to align with the University's evolving Digital Strategy. The tender awarded was expected to commence on 2nd January 2026 for both lots, each valued at £420,000 excluding VAT, but no award was made due to the cancellation.

The cancellation of this tender suggests that there will be future opportunities once the specifications are revised, and it is re-tendered. Businesses specialising in web design and content management systems, particularly those experienced in developing solutions for higher education institutions, are well-positioned to consider future offers. The demand for a headless CMS architecture, seamless integration capabilities, and compliance with GDPR indicates the University seeks innovative and technically robust solutions. Companies with expertise in accessibility standards and detailed analytics will also find opportunities in such a digitally driven procurement, fostering business growth by delivering cutting-edge solutions tailored to educational sectors.

## Notice

The University is seeking to appoint one or more specialist delivery partners to support the procurement, implementation, and optimisation of a new institutional website and Content Management System (CMS). Contracts may be awarded to a single integrated provider covering both lots or to separate suppliers for each lot, depending on the quality and suitability of proposals received.
