The Authority is engaging with potential Suppliers to seek views and feedback to the information provided and questionnaire.  This is intended to be used to assist the Authority on deciding the next steps for the procurement of a Content Management System (CMS) for Websites
The Authority website serves as a vital digital gateway, providing residents and the public with access to all local authority services and information.
Currently, the website is managed using a CMS developed by the Authorities Software Development Team.
MyAccount, forms, and CRM are additional in-house developments that form an integral part of the Authorities digital customer services platform.  This integration was aimed to benefit customers and reduce service delivery costs.  However, some parts of the digital customer service platform were coded many years ago using older technologies that have since evolved.  These integrations impact on the local authority’s ability to develop the public website, respond to service changes, meet customer requirements and accessibility requirements.
Need -
1.	Complex requirements: Local authorities have complex and diverse needs, including managing large volumes of data, ensuring accessibility, and integrating with various other systems.
2.	Security concerns: Local authorities handle sensitive information, including personal data of residents.  The local authority requires a CMS with advanced security features to protect this data.  A supplier must make rectifying vulnerabilities to cyber-attacks a priority.
3.	Scalability: The local authority needs a CMS that can scale accordingly.  The local authority needs a CMS built with scalability in mind.
4.	Compliance and regulations:  Local authorities must adhere to strict regulations and standards, such as GDPR for data protection, WCAG 2.2 for accessibility and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) for Cyber Security.  The Authority needs a CMS with a system architecture that provides for our business need whilst delivering compliance against a complex range of regulatory requirements.
5.	Microsites:  The Authority needs a CMS that enables the Authority to create microsites.  The creation must be a simple and fast using a template with the ability to tailor the site's appearance and functionality.
6.	User experience: Local authorities serve a wide range of users, including residents, businesses, and the public.  The Authority needs a CMS to provide the optimal user experience needed to meet the diverse needs of users, ensuring customer satisfaction and efficiency of processes.
7.	Long-term viability: Local authorities require a CMS that can support our operations for the long term.  The CMS provider should have a track record of public sector provision and have good engagement with their customer base on future enhancements and improvements for both maintenance of compliance and regulations but also to ensure that future developments and trends in web presence can be accommodated.
8.	Financial viability: Consideration will be made of the total cost of ownership, including licensing fees, hosting, maintenance, and any additional costs for plugins or extensions.
Provision of a CMS that effectively supports the Authority’s website functionality, security, and growth.  The CMS will have a user-friendly interface that the team can easily manage and navigate.
We are looking for a CMS that allows for customisation to match our brand and business processes.  This includes themes, templates, and the ability to add custom features where needed.
The ideal CMS will offer have a strong support system, comprehensive documentation, customer support, and an active user community.
It is important to note that this is not an invitation to tender, it is strictly a pre-procurement Market Engagement Questionnaire, intended to capture market information via a Prior Information Notice (PIN).
There are a number of questions within the Market Engagement Questionnaire for you to answer but it is not compulsory to answer all of them. We are happy to receive any feedback you wish to offer.
Responses to the Market Engagement Questionnaire imply no commitment on Suppliers to engage in any subsequent procurement process, nor do they confer any advantaged status or guarantee of inclusion in any subsequent procurement process for Suppliers who do respond.
The Authority reserves the right to withdraw this Market Engagement Questionnaire at any time and is not liable for any costs incurred as a result of Suppliers engaging with this process.
Potential Suppliers are asked to answer the questions set out in the questionnaire (pp9-11 of "Pre-Procurement market engagement questionnaire for the provision of a Content Management System (CMS) for Websites"). This can be found on the Council's eTendering Portal Pro Contact. The link to the eTendering portal is https://procontract.due-north.com/ and the reference number is DN764372. Please log in (or register if you do not have a log in) and the questionnaire will be available to download.
Please upload your completed questionnaire to the portal by 12 March 2025, 14.00Hrs. Additional information: Completed questionnaires must be uploaded to the portal by 12 March 2025, 14.00Hrs. Please leave sufficient time to do this, as uploading times can vary depending on the file size.
Documents must be uploaded in an Open Document format, and all attachments will ideally be Zipped in to one file. (Tip: Use PDF documents where possible to reduce file sizes).
Please note: Organisations can upload / amend their response via the ProContract e-Tendering Portal at any time prior to the submission deadline. The response is secure and only visible to the organisation up until the closing deadline date / time at which point the system is locked to the organisation and contents become visible to the Council.
PLEASE REMEMBER: This is not an Invitation to Tender (ITT) exercise. The Authority is intending to initiate a procurement process for the provision of a Content Management System (CMS) for Websites in the future, but this pre-procurement Market Engagement Questionnaire is a call for information only.
The Authority will consider the responses received and then consider its options.
Please note that the date set out in II.3 is not certain and could be changed.
Please note that the 'Type of Contract' as set out in II.1.3 says 'Services' but in fact it could be any combination/hybrid of goods/systems and/or services.

A briefing note for suppliers: Changes to procurement in Defra

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) relates to Corporate Solutions - Professional Services. The intention is to share some updates regarding the application of the new Procurement Act in this area. Other such notices may be published by other category teams within Defra, and if your business operates across multiple categories, you should review all relevant notices for updates.

The Procurement Act 2023 is new legislation that will change the way the public sector buys goods and services. It aims to:
•	create a simpler and more flexible commercial system
•	open up public procurement to new entrants
•	take tougher action on underperforming suppliers
•	embed transparency throughout the commercial lifecycle

The changes are expected to start on 24 February 2025.

The existing legislation will apply until 24 February 2025. After 24 February 2025, it will only apply to procurements and contracts that started before this date, i.e. if the Invitation to Tender (ITT) was published, a voluntary transparency notice was published, or a pricing request was issued.

The new features for suppliers include:
•	a central digital platform
•	a simplified bidding process
•	more flexible commercial frameworks
•	a new duty on contracting authorities to consider barriers facing SMEs and VCSEs
•	a stronger exclusions framework

What will stay the same

If you are an existing or potential supplier to Defra and have live contracts, are a member of an existing framework, or are planning to bid for a procurement that has or will start prior to the new regime commencing, that arrangement will continue to be subject to the existing Public Contracting Regulations until the contract ends. The same principle applies to any contracts that are subject to any other associated procurement regulations, such as The Utilities Contracts Regulations.

What you need to do

If you are a supplier, you should:
•	read the government guidance: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/transforming-public-procurement
•	sign up for regular TPP updates: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdMgwpZ1kwubGUpKMLwu0ZpHS8zdWmXKgaHUJKRl-SwqQT95w/viewform
•	read the government TPP Knowledge Drops: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-official-transforming-public-procurement-knowledge-drops

We recommend that you familiarise yourself with the new Central Digital Platform using these guidance videos:
•	An overview of the central digital platform, an enhanced Find a Tender service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSfxoZoV3yI
•	How to register an organisation and the first administrator in 3 easy steps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnjCa4swtjA
•	Detailed walkthrough: How an administrator completes and updates supplier info https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4ZdbMGRqeQ
•	The central digital platform, an enhanced Find a Tender service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSfxoZoV3yI

If you have a question about the new procurement act, contact the Transforming Public Procurement helpdesk at: procurement.reform@cabinetoffice.gov.uk.

Further information

There may be little change in this category due to a continued use of existing frameworks.

The Supplier is responsible for ensuring availability of water, and transportation to planting areas (by hose or bowser). Water shall be kept free from any impurities at all times. Additional information: The council is ideally seeking to deliver a saving through this procurement process and avoid any cost increases. Therefore, Council reserves the right to set aside any tender that exceeds £80,000 per annum for the first year of the contract.  The budget cap of £80,000 per annum is based upon delivery of the current core requirements and already includes for an uplift of the value for 2024/2025 to accommodate the increases to national minimum wage and impact of national insurance contribution changes which will take effect from April 2025.
The estimated annual value of the contract is £80,000 based upon current core requirements.  The value of the contract for delivery of core requirements may increase or decrease in the event of changes to specification, changes to frequencies, and removal or addition of requirements from the contract.
In addition to the £80,000 the council may also at its option let additional project works through the contract. No guarantee of additional works can be made and the council may commission other contractors to undertake these works. Based upon the current development position for the site the value of these additional project works could equate to approx. £20,000 per year. This could make the overall value of the contract approx. £100,000 per annum.
The site is still under development and as additional units are built and let this will impact upon the scope and value of the landscaping core requirements and additional project works.
The council cannot guarantee or provide any specific forecast on the build out programme, however it is estimated that the impact of full build out on core requirements could increase the contract value by an additional approx. £20,000 - £30,000 per annum and for additional projects this could increase by £10,000 - £15,000 per annum.
The full build out of the site could therefore increase the overall per annum value of the contract from £80,000 to £110,000 for core requirements, £20,000 to £35,000 for additional optional project works and therefore from £100,000 to £145,000 overall.
Build out of the site will be undertaken incrementally and it is unlikely that the this would have been achieved until at least year 4 of this contract at which the point the value could have risen incrementally from £100,000 in year 1 to £145,000 in year 4.
Based upon take up of extension options this would equate to a maximum overall cost for 7 year duration of £925,00 based upon incremental build out. Applying year on year upper end inflationary increase of 3% increases the value to approx. £950,000.

description: Contract Monitoring. The successful contractor’s performance on the contract will be regularly monitored in line with the tender documentation. Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated. The issue of a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance can result in the Contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of three years from the date of issue..
