Cantium Business Solutions (Cantium) is a Local Authority Trading Company

(LATCo), whose ultimate parent company is Kent County Council (KCC).

Cantium provides ICT Managed Services to its customers across the UK within

the Education, Local Authority, Health, and the Private sector. As a LATCo, we

are proud of our Public Sector heritage, which has given us a foundation in

business delivery and infrastructure insight. This uniquely enables us to drive

innovation and progressive practices to deliver the best value for our clients.

Cantium is looking to appoint a WordPress Website and Development Agency.

Cantium Business Solutions supports its customers by offering advice and

guidance on the use of Information Technology to maximise the business

benefits of current systems and supports the delivery of new products and

services.

Access to this Agreement will be determined by the Cantium Business

Solutions nominated Contract Officer. Requirements will be confirmed on a

case-by-case basis as projects arise.

Cantium recently underwent a fresh website build & brand refresh which was

completed in 2022.

Cantium now wishes to have an agency onboard that can make required

improvements to the site's User Interface (UI), User Experience (UX) and

administration back-end. This also includes managing and keeping the website

and server environment up to date and secure.

The agency should also take joint accountability for the site, work as a

partner and provide added value rather than only do as directed. For

example, challenging development ideas presented by Cantium and make

suggestions for improvement based upon relevant metrics and data.

Any contractual offer made will be against a zero-value agreement as any

sales will be based on best value for ourselves and for our customers.

This Agreement is for a 36 months term based on an initial fixed 12 month

period, after which a 3 months break clause may be applied to the balance of

the term by the buyer. The contract will expire in its entirety after the 36

months unless the break clause is applied earlier, or it is extended.

The buyer has the right to request up to two separate 12-month extensions to

this contract, providing the supplier with a minimum notice of 30 days prior to

the contract end date. Therefore, the maximum possible contract length will

be 60 months.
