Description

The university has identified a need to replace its content management system (CMS) and redevelop the external website, and invites tenders.

The project goal is to establish sustainable methods of creating Digital Services for the university external website. Making this sustainable means acquiring a CMS that suits our needs as a smaller institution. We need to be able to maintain our online services, and be resilient to mitigate changes in internal or external personnel.

The University's total available budget for this three year contract is £62,000 excluding VAT, to include
• Software Licence costs (CMS application)
• CMS Application hosting (SaaS)
• Implementation /on-boarding/ initial training costs
• Support/Maintenance costs

The procurement will be conducted exclusively via the university's e-tendering website, where all documentation can be found and downloaded: https://neupc.delta-esourcing.com/members/leeds-trinity-university/

The project opens at 1400h on 16th November 2018, and the tender submission deadline is Noon on Tuesday 11th December 2018.

Access code if required, is 9C2EQX5DYS

"The University wishes to clarify pricing:

The stated budget doesn't include CMS Application hosting (SaaS)

The University is asking for costs as it may move to this in the future but, certainly initially, the CMS will be hosted with the University.

CMS Application hosting (SaaS) is in the Standard/Mandatory items on the pricing schedule. It is mandatory to provide the price but the University will not use this as part of the tender scoring. The University apologises for any confusion. CMS Application hosting (SaaS) should have been in the 'other' costs section of the Price worksheet.
