It also enables the publication of content from many locally developed web applications (eg: StaffPages, News & Events, Prospectuses). The current system is now only receiving stability and security patching from the vendor.

What is being bought

Published requirement description

The University’s current Content Management System (CMS) supports the publication and maintenance of content (templates, text, images and videos) on the University’s corporate website (www.abdn.ac.uk ↗). It also enables the publication of content from many locally developed web applications (eg: StaffPages, News & Events, Prospectuses).

The current system is now only receiving stability and security patching from the vendor. As a result, the University is seeking to procure a modern, supported CMS which can meet current and future needs for the institutional web presence, and reduce the need for bespoke development.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 25 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
