## Summary

The procurement process involves Historic Environment Scotland, which is located at Longmore House in Edinburgh, UK. The tender, titled "HES Website," pertains to the services industry and focuses on the hosting, maintenance, and support of various websites, including those for historic sites such as Edinburgh and Stirling Castles. This contract was awarded to Storm ID through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, as part of a strategy to facilitate a digital review prompted by the impact of Covid-19. The contract value is £102,266, and was formally signed on 12 April 2021, indicating a complete status with no further bidding opened.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the digital services sector, web development, or digital maintenance. Given the nature of this contract, companies that specialise in website hosting, maintenance, and online solutions for heritage and tourism sectors would be especially well-suited to compete in future related tenders. The continuity of service for Historic Environment Scotland suggests a need for ongoing support and innovation, creating avenues for business growth and collaboration in delivering high-quality digital experiences.

### Procurement Information

This contract was awarded through Lot 5 of the Scottish Government Marketing Services Framework in 2014. HES was due to re-tender this service again from a Scottish Government Framework however HES are currently undergoing a full scale digital review. Due to the impact of Covid-19 on their digital activity, HES are now revising their Digital Strategy in order that it is fit for purpose for the future. As a result the intention is to extend with the incumbant supplier for 12 months to allow this review to be completed and to ensure we are tendering for a service that will meet the organisation's objectives
