## Summary

The University of Wolverhampton has successfully awarded a contract for the project titled "26-22 Unified Website Platform, CMS, Hosting, Design and Build." The procurement process, which followed an open, competitive and flexible procedure, aimed to consolidate digital efforts into a single platform, enhancing user experience and operational efficiency. The award was confirmed on 20th May 2026, with Zengenti Limited, a supplier based in Ludlow, appointed as the responsible party. This contract falls within the services industry category, specifically focusing on website design, CMS, and hosting services, and is scheduled to commence on 1st July 2026, running until 30th June 2029, with potential extensions up to June 2031. The procurement has reached the award stage, following tender closure on 8th April 2026.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in digital and web services, particularly those able to demonstrate expertise in content management systems, cloud hosting, and web design. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were notably successful in this process, with 11 out of 13 final-stage bids coming from such entities. This suggests the process was accessible to businesses of varying sizes, provided they met the rigorous technical and financial criteria, such as having a minimum annual turnover of £2M and specific insurance requirements. Firms with a strong track record in higher education sector projects or public sector programmes, as well as capabilities in integration, security, and service management, would find this and similar tenders aligned to their core competencies, offering a structured pathway to business growth.

## Notice

The University sought to procure a unified digital platform comprising a new Content Management System, secure cloud hosting, front end design and design system, front-end build, integration with back-end systems and data, content migration, training and enablement, and ongoing service operations. The appointed partner will work hand in hand with University Teams to design and implement a modern, reliable and user-friendly website that supports prospective students, current students, staff, and external audiences. The successful supplier will be required to measurably improve student recruitment outcomes across UK and international markets, reinforce accessibility, optimisation of content management and accuracy, and reduce operational overheads and risk. This award consolidates responsibilities into one accountable supplier to remove fragmentation, accelerate delivery, and create a coherent experience and service model. The successful supplier demonstrated capability across architecture, user experience, design, content operations, data integration, technical development, security and service management, backed by evidence from higher education institutions and/or comparable public sector programmes. Stage 1 of the new website must be delivered by end January 2027, followed by planned enhancements in the six months after launch.
