The lotProcurement structure
single lot · value publishedLot #1We are on a journey of digital transformationAwardedPublished value£400
We are on a journey of digital transformation. Our Knowledge Matter’s strategy (2023-2030) sets-out our digital ambition to transform the user experience and quality of our website and digital resources for our users. Our aim is to deliver world-class digital experiences for a world-leading Library, building on modern, resilient, secure foundations.
In 2022, we undertook a Web Discovery project, which identified the path for a world-leading, user-centred website. While laying the foundations for this, in October 2023 we experienced a catastrophic cyber-attack. It left us without a permanent website or access to many of the digital applications of the wider digital estate. In December 2023, we launched a small interim website to support users’ immediate needs. It does not have a CMS attached to it and is designed to be replaced by the outcomes of this brief.
The Library are looking for a partnership with an agency where we can combine the skills and knowledge of our teams and the selected agency – and collaborate in a way that builds our teams’ skills and delivers phase 1 of the project, resulting in a website that:
replaces the current interim website
gives an excellent experience to users and editors
reflects the Library brand
is robust, scalable, sustainable and secure
allows for quick expansion of other content areas
provides a foundation for expansion and integration with backend systems in phase 2 and beyond. Additional information: To respond to this opportunity please click here: www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/F9674F92X5 ↗
