The process, categorised within general public services, utilised an open procurement method and was carried out in the UKM65 region. The contract, valued at £90,750 GBP, was awarded to Whereverly Limited on 23rd December 2025, following a tender process that closed on 12th December 2025. The award notice was published on 5th February 2026, marking the transition from the tender stage to contract award and implementation. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in digital services, specifically in website design and maintenance. SMEs, particularly those capable of adopting a user-centred design approach, focusing on simplicity, accessibility, and mobile responsiveness, would find this project highly suitable. The aim is to address usability challenges and improve navigation for the website, which experiences significant traffic with over 50,000 users per month. Engaging in such public sector projects can enhance a business's portfolio, offering exposure to handling large-scale web solutions within a governmental context and potentially fostering long-term partnerships with regional authorities. ## Notice Orkney Islands Council has a requirement for a redisigned corporate website based on feedback received from users. Together with the new website, the Authority will require 5 years of maintenance and support for the website. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Authority has a requirement for a redesigned Orkney Islands Council website based on extensive user feedback. The website receives over 50 thousand users a month and has been improved over recent years (see Appendix C within OIC Website - Specification V1-1 document). However, it still has significant usability challenges, particularly with navigation, with many users resorting to Google searches instead of navigating the site directly. The new website is requested to address these issues through a user-centred design approach, focusing on simplicity, accessibility, mobile responsiveness, and a modern aesthetic -ensuring that users can find what they need in 3-4 clicks. The specification has been based around user feedback from a public survey conducted in April-May 2025 and from a diverse staff reference group who have been involved in the improvements to the website over the past few years. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB548950 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | 12 Dec 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 23 Dec 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £115,000 | | Lots value | £115,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £90,750 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ORKNEY ISLANDS COUNCIL | | Locality | KIRKWALL | | Post town | Kirkwall | | Postcode | KW15 1NY | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Orkney Islands | | Electoral ward | Kirkwall East | | Westminster constituency | Orkney and Shetland | | Delivery location | TLM65 Orkney Islands | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WHEREVERLY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72413000 - World wide web (www) site design services - 72415000 - World wide web (www) site operation host services ## Release History - 5 Feb 2026 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB548950 - 13 Nov 2025 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV543547 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV543547&idx=5 14th November 2025 - Price Schedule - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV543547&idx=7 14th November 2025 - Price Schedule - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV543547&idx=6 13th November 2025 - Cloud Service Assessment Questionnaire - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV543547&idx=1 13th November 2025 - Invitation to Tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV543547&idx=2 13th November 2025 - Specification - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV543547&idx=3 13th November 2025 - Compliance Statement - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV543547&idx=4 13th November 2025 - Structure and Format of Proposal - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV543547 Provision of Website Services - Orkney Islands Council has a requirement for a redisigned corporate website based on feedback received from users.
