The brief

Digital Catapult is now looking to find a partner to develop a series of new satellite websites that would ensure branding, design, front/back end functionality consistency with Digital Catapult main website and its newly build satellites, while allowing a coherent, unique expression for each individual satellite, all based on top of the current Wordpress infrastructure.

Digital Catapult is also looking for an SLA and maintenance package of all satellite websites developed.

Copywriting, hosting and DNS/TLDs are not in scope of this tender.

Bidders should be able to demonstrate previous delivery of high quality UX, design and development.

Bidders should demonstrate their project management approach to deliver the initial 2 satellite websites within the timeframe proposed: in particular, they should be able to demonstrate ability to manage and report on a similar scale project and deliver to plan and to time.

Proposed technical and information architecture, wireframes and visual expressions presented and aligned with the Digital Catapult Marketing, Design and Engineering teams before committing to build.

Bidders should demonstrate what distinguishes them from other website design and development service providers, in terms of the provision of the service subject of this tender.

Bidders must detail expected staffing and team profile, and confirm their ability to staff the project in line with the delivery plan.

Bidders also should outline any specific risks that may occur delivering the services and how they will address and attempt to mitigate these risks.

The initial Contract term shall be for a period of 1 (one) year with an option for Digital Catapult to extend for up to 3 (three) further periods of 6 (six) months each, at its discretion.

Digital Catapult does not guarantee any volume or value of work from this Contract.

However, based on approximate historical spend, it is anticipated that the maximum total value (including any extensions) for this Contract may be in the region of 120,000 GBP.
