## Summary

The Borough Council of Calderdale initiated a public procurement process for designing and developing a new website for the Victoria Theatre in Halifax. This project, categorized under IT services, specifically focuses on web page editing software development services. The procurement method was an open competition, classified as below threshold, and was open to submissions via electronic policy as detailed on the designated portal. The tender, originally published on 16 March 2026, aimed for the procurement to proceed from the planning stage to the award; however, it was cancelled on 9 June 2026, due to a need for further specification and requirement reviews. The new website was planned to feature custom design and development, seamless integration with the venue’s ticketing system, and robust hosting services covering high traffic periods. Despite the cancellation, this procurement demonstrates the Council's commitment to enhancing digital infrastructure within the theatre sector.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specializing in IT services, particularly those with expertise in web development, system integration, and digital infrastructure support. With a gross budget of £30,000, including £24,000 allocated specifically for the development services, the scope offers room for creative solutions to showcase reliability, user-centric design, and modern technology deployments. The contract opportunity was particularly suited for SMEs, encouraging participation from smaller firms poised to deliver innovative, top-quality digital solutions. Such projects enable service-oriented businesses to grow their portfolio in public sector contracts, expand their influence in niche sectors like theatre and culture, and potentially lead to ongoing collaboration for website support and future enhancements.
