GB-Colchester: Website Design & Development Services - Phase 1 Consultancy

GENERAL OVERVIEW OF ENTIRE PROJECT - Phase 1 and Phase 2

The University of Essex is undertaking an exciting new project to redevelop our web presence so that it truly reflects who we are and what we do here. Our Essex brand is a unique, somewhat rebellious mind-set that’s embedded in everything we do. Our ambition is to deliver a bold, sector-leading website. This won’t be just another university website, much like Essex is not just another university.

PHASE 1 - CONSULTANCY

To deliver on this ambitious brief we need to accurately define our requirements and project outcomes, and so we are undertaking a preparatory phase.

We’re looking for a like-minded digital strategic specialist who understands the role our web presence needs to play in delivering our mission. They will deliver Phase 1, which includes definition of the wider project scope and requirements, to inform the creation of the brief for Phase 2.

PHASE 2 Web Building (not included in this tender)

will include a separate procurement process to appoint a supplier who will design, build and populate a new web presence based upon the clear recommendations and findings from Phase 1.

Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement, and the contract will be awarded on the basis of the most economically advantageous tender.
