## Summary

Edseco Limited, trading as The Education People, intends to procure website management and related services for KentChoices. The work covers maintaining and updating the online Kent prospectus, which supports young people and professionals throughout the year with applications and transitions from Year 11 into post-16 education. This is an information technology and internet support service, including ongoing website administration and content updates. The service is intended to provide a smooth application and transition experience for students using the prospectus. Delivery is associated with KentChoices and the Kent education market. The requirement is a single planned service package rather than separate goods or construction works, and is aimed at suppliers able to manage a public-facing education website and its associated prospectus content reliably.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure but has not issued an invitation to tender. It is planned as a single-lot services contract under the UK procurement legal framework, with an estimated gross value of £142,500. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. The buyer is carrying out preliminary market engagement to gather supplier numbers and expressions of interest, with engagement scheduled for 21 September 2026. The expected procurement method and evaluation criteria have not been set out in this record. Suppliers should therefore treat the dates, value and contract arrangements as the buyer’s current planning expectations, rather than as tender deadlines or final commercial terms.

The requirement should suit a web management or digital services supplier with experience running public-facing websites, maintaining online prospectuses and handling regular content updates. Relevant capability includes dependable website administration, software and internet support, content publishing, and the ability to keep information clear and usable for young people, education professionals and other users. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate that they can support an online service throughout the year and help applications and transitions operate smoothly. The work may be relevant to businesses already serving education, careers, admissions or local-authority audiences, as well as specialist website support providers with suitable operational capacity. Early market engagement gives interested suppliers an opportunity to understand the requirement and prepare before a competitive procedure is launched.

## Notice

The contract is for a service to provide website management and services and updating of the online Kent prospectus which is used by thousands of young people and professionals throughout the year to enable a smooth application and transition for students from Year 11 to Post 16 Education.
