Tender description

Website design and build. Full details available in Gaelic and English as additional information attachments SpeakGaelic is the unifying brand of a once-in-a-generation, highly ambitious language learning campaign. The vision is to transform the uptake and usage of Gaelic. It is an innovative and coordinated project, which will combine community learning and media, and is intended to provide a clear, comprehensive, integrated structure for Gaelic language learning. The user will have the option of experiencing SpeakGaelic in three key ways, all of which will be integrated, but also capable of being consumed discretely: — taught through a SpeakGaelic course; and/or — consumed in complementary BBC ALBA/BBC Radio nan Gàidheal Media content; — and/or self-guided through the SpeakGaelic website The SpeakGaelic curriculum will be based on CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) learning outcomes, where each speaker is placed at one of six levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2). SpeakGaelic will cover levels A1, A2, B1, B2. Provision for proficient users at levels C1 and C2 will be strengthened through existing channels. This document sets out the commissioning specification for the SpeakGaelic website. We seek to commission a new bilingual website comprising the following: — two types of optional user login (learner and tutor). User can navigate the site without registering. • The site should remember the user (learner and tutor). and allow them to pick up where they left off — a learners’ website; • with four levels (each with 13 units: each unit will have its own test with about 10 learning outcomes and mini-tests); • which is media rich with video, audio snippets, images and interactive tests (tests feature a variety of question styles); — a method by which short-form content can be viewed passively; — an associated app; — a tutor’s area including a library of the course, tutor marketing materials; — a user-friendly CMS; — the site should be responsive to all platforms and browsers and have a fast page load speed. Level one (A1) will go live across all platforms and mediums in September 2021 and each level (to B2) will follow in successive years timetable Tender published Friday 13 November 2020 Deadline for submissions Friday 27 November 2020, 5 p.m. Deadline for MG ALBA decisions Friday 4 December 2020 Wireframes and infrastructure Architecture Friday 18 December 2020 Design high fidelity mockup Friday 15 January 2021 Front end build and CMS build delivered Friday 28 February 2021 User acceptance testing Wednesday 31 March 2021 Front end and CMS packaged and delivered Friday 14 May 2021 Content population complete Friday 30 July 2021 Site soft launch Friday 27 August 2021 Site go live (subject to change) Saturday 11 September 2021 Deadline A fully functional prototype must be built by March 2021 for user-testing.
