Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council is initiating a procurement process for the development of a website dedicated to Adult Social Care Services, known as the "People First" platform. This initiative falls under the industry category of IT services and social services, focusing specifically on Internet and intranet software development and world wide web site design. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a procurement method characterised by an open procedure.

Located in London, the tender invites expressions of interest with key timelines including an enquiry period ending on 17 July 2025, a tender submission deadline of 21 July 2025, and an anticipated award period concluding on 11 August 2025. The contract will potentially commence on 25 August 2025, extending until 24 August 2028, with a possible renewal option. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in IT solutions and social services, especially those focusing on website design, development, and maintenance.

Companies with expertise in administrative social services, compliance software, and user-centric digital services can benefit from this project, which aims to empower service users and community partners by providing accessible and reliable online resources. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the tender explicitly indicates suitability for these organisations. With a gross value projected at £216,000, the initiative offers substantial potential for business growth and sector innovation.

Notice Description

People First is the current Royal Borough of Kensington (RBKC) and Westminster City Council (WCC) information and advice for Adult Social Care Services. The contract for the current People First website is reaching expiry. The ambition is to empower users of services, their family members, residents, community partners and providers through having effective web information and advice on ASC functions, processes, support services, activities and events.

Be it seeking information about local support services, wellbeing events, or support around a safeguarding, we want all stakeholders to have immediacy of access to the guidance they need so they feel informed and in control. Underpinning this ambition is a website that is inviting to use; one that is visually engaging, easy to navigate, responsive, reliable and safe. This planned procurement notice is to inform the Provider Market that a formal sourcing activity for the People First website's development will be conducted to replace the expiring contract.
