Website content management systems (CMS)

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 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.
