Description:
Arts Council NI (ACNI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to establish a contract with a Supplier to re-develop, support and maintain the www.artscouncil-ni.org website, including a new client grant portal. ACNI currently has one website, www.artscouncil-ni.org, developed in 2011 by a consultant-led web-design company. In 2018 ACNI’s website was migrated from ACNI servers to IT Assist as a host. The website operates on legacy software which is impacting detrimentally on the stability and the functionality of the website: Expressionengine 2.5; PHP 5.5; Site is dependent on defunct add-ons. The current site lacks a customised client portal for new and existing clients seeking to access funding applications from ACNI online. It is intended that the www.artscouncil-ni.org website will be fully re-developed, with the new site to incorporate a client grant portal. The potential scale and scope of this service is such that it offers a significant opportunity to bidders. Prior to initiating the procurement, ACNI wishes to establish the level of market interest in participating in the procurement process. The Supplier will develop, support and maintain the website for the length of the contract. **PLEASE NOTE: ALL COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA THE MESSAGING FUNCTION on eTendersNI, within this CFT, BEFORE 3PM ON 01 SEPTEMBER 2021.**
