What is being bought

Published requirement description

We are seeking to appoint a supplier to create a new website for NU Policy that will revitalise and expand our web presence for policy engagement.

We require a supplier to create a comprehensive repository for our policy engagement activity and a resource that will serve to:

  • enhance our reputation for impactful policy engagement and support our work to position Newcastle as a go-to source for government of evidence-based research for policymaking.
  • build up a resource that will enable us to respond swiftly and effectively to emerging government priorities by providing relevant examples of similar work that will demonstrate how we might contribute/support future policy development.
  • provide a more visible and easy-to-navigate ‘way in’ to the University for policymakers, encouraging them to work with our academic experts.

The project is split into two phases:

  • Phase 1 focuses on getting the MVP site live by the end of July 2022.
  • Phase 2 focuses on the continued development of the site using a retainer arrangement and is optional depending on the proposals tendered.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “(NU/1589–57) NU Policy (Newcastle University Strategic Policy…” is a dynamic market: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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