Internet and Intranet Software Tenders and Contracts

Internet and intranet software tenders cover intranet platforms, staff portals, website design and development and hosting procured by public bodies. Some are new builds, others are re-procurements of an existing platform. Many intranets are called off through a framework such as G-Cloud rather than run as a standalone tender.

Stotles brings together intranet and website tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Intranets are often called off from G-Cloud with software, hosting and support in one contract, and websites are tendered as design and build projects.

Intranet and website tenders are scored on usability, accessibility, content management, integration, hosting and support, and whole-life cost. Many renewals stay with the incumbent, so new entrants often win at a full replacement.

Public sector websites and intranets must meet the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018, and hosting must handle personal data in line with UK data protection law. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Many are awarded as call-offs from a framework such as G-Cloud rather than run as a standalone open tender. Others are procured directly, particularly for a full platform replacement.

Councils, NHS trusts, police forces, universities and colleges are regular buyers. Housing associations and charities also run these tenders for staff intranets and websites.

Read digital strategies, website refresh plans, contract expiry dates for hosting and support and early market engagement notices, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
