## Summary

The public procurement process led by Historic England involves the contracted support for their Umbraco Content Management System (CMS), initiated with the aim of enhancing and maintaining their web presence. The procurement falls under the services category, with a notable focus on software programming and consultancy services. Historic England, a public authority classified under sub-central government, is situated in Swindon, UK. The process followed an open procedure and concluded with the award and contract stages, with Codiance Limited, based in Cardiff, UK, securing the contract. The contract valued at a gross amount of £300,000 commences on 5th January 2026 and extends up to 4th January 2029. Significant milestones include the signing date on 22nd December 2025, after procurement completion on 23rd December 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses that specialise in Umbraco CMS support and development, particularly those able to deliver quality software programming and consultancy services. Given the MAT (Most Advantageous Tender) criteria with a weighting favouring quality over price, businesses with a strong track record in such services are well-suited to compete. The engagement offers a stable three-year contract, providing consistent business growth through long-term service provision to a prominent public authority. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), such as the awarded supplier Codiance Limited, can leverage their agility and specialised expertise to compete effectively in such procurement processes.

## Notice

We are looking for an agency specialising in Umbraco to support our in-house team with maintaining the current implementation and to supply advice and guidance on future development.
