UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

Our website is built in Umbraco 7, and this is coming to end-of-life (EOL) in September 2023. We wish to procure a new contract to either upgrade our website in Umbraco or to secure an alternative platform solution. We are therefore looking at two options in this Invitation to Tender (ITT): • Option 1: Upgrade from Umbraco 7 to Umbraco 10LTS as our website content management system, including content migration, and to provide continued support including any future Umbraco upgrades as part this of this agreement. • Option 2: Rebuild website using alternative software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution with content migration included and to provide continued support, including hosting and any maintenance and updates as necessary. We are considering taking the opportunity to re-design our website using either of the above options, if cost-effective. We know that over 70% of our website users view the site on mobile devices, so it is extremely important to us that our website is mobile-first

Currently, Cottsway is utilising MRI's Documotive EDRM system as a document storage solution across various business areas such as Housing, Property Management, Finance, and HR. However, this system has not been updated for several years, leading to difficulties in effectively managing and maintaining documents in a centralised manner. Additionally, Cottsway has recently implemented Microsoft Office 365, which has resulted in a shift towards storing and collaborating on documents in SharePoint. Therefore, there has been a fragmentation in the storage of key documents, dispersed across different platforms. This existing approach is no longer sustainable in meeting the present and future document management requirements of Cottsway. Cottsway Housing is aiming to achieve the following from this tender exercise: 1. A fit-for-purpose EDMS solution that delivers all essential requirements and as many desirable requirements as possible. 2. To provide a solution that delivers the requirements whilst proving value for money, within a reasonable timeframe. 3. Longevity of the chosen solution, including any future upgrades/updates, and ongoing support.

We're planning to refresh the laptops in use by staff at the company over the next 1 to 2 years. For this we require 50 laptops initially to replace the most out of date hardware, then will proceed to phase out about another 75 laptops over the course of the following 24 months. We have tested various laptops concluding that, the HP Elite x360 1040 G9 is the most suitable for our staff uses and compatibility with existing desk peripherals. We're initially looking for supply of this model, however we will be willing to accept a model of the same/similar spec on the same line or superseding should this one come to end of life in the future.
