UK-London: world wide web (www) site design services
SMC7785 web redevelopment project 3 (WRP 3). The British Library is embarking on a 3-5 year project to build a new online platform to replace its existing website. The aim is to create an experience that matches the Library's impressive physical presence in London and expands its reach to a broader UK and worldwide audience. The Web Redevelopment Project (WRP) will create a completely new website that will be much more coherent yet provide clear, targeted offers for researchers, learners, and the public. It will engage users by providing a virtual venue for debate, collaboration, and the creation of new knowledge. The new website will also drive operational efficiencies by rationalising the British Library's web infrastructure and provide a firm basis for meeting usage, revenue, and other KPI targets. The project will proceed in four phases, as follows: 2011-12 Year 0: user experience, full technical evaluation 2012-13 Year 1: phase 1 work on public/learner and researcher offers, review of search 2013-14 Year 2: phase 2 development of public/learner and researcher offers 2014-15 Year 3: project completion: details to be confirmed during Years 1-2 Initial high level work in 2010 has been followed by detailed scoping activity in 2011. Together, these initiatives have helped to define what the Library will be delivering through the Web Redevelopment Project and to establish the road map for building it. The Library is now seeking external support for the two key initiatives outlined below. LOT 1. DEVELOPING A USER-FOCUSED BRITISH LIBRARY GLOBAL EXPERIENCE LANGUAGE. The supplier selected for this project will create a global experience language for the Library. This will comprise a comprehensive information architecture along with associated interface, interaction, graphic design, and brand standards. The work also includes setting up a customer panel, recruiting the members, and testing iterations with users. Roll-out of the global experience language will be a separate project. However the ultimate aim is to bring an unprecedented unity of look and feel to the Library's web eco-system and to establish the site as an inspiring destination for content and the creation of new knowledge. LOT 2. CONDUCTING A DETAILED WEB TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE REVIEW. This supplier selected for this project will define the technical architecture of the Library's web estate for the period to 2020, establish and understand the relationship of key elements (content management, customer management, search, digital item presentation, document supply, ecommerce, community tools, interface and development standards, etc), and define the web technical standards that will be required. A particular focus of activity will be auditing the Library's content management, requirements, mapping these against available solutions, and comparing costs. The work will also include investigating interdependencies with other Library digital programmes and identifying opportunities for simplification, consolidation, and efficiencies. The Library envisages that delivery of the majority of the requirements for Lots 1 and 2 will be completed by the successful tenderer(s) prior to the 31.3.2012. These projects require suppliers with a strong record of developing comprehensive user experience and/or technical solutions for complex, content rich websites. The successful tenderer(s) should be able to deploy a sizeable team led by senior personnel that demonstrates an appropriate skill set, a proven track record of service delivery and offers excellent value for money. Suppliers selected for Invitation to Tender (ITT) at the conclusion of this prequalification exercise will have the opportunity to tender for one or both of the Lots described above.

CODA Dream Finance System Maintenance and Support Services Contract. Advert for CODA Dream Maintenance and Support Contract. Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) T02HE/2011/12. The Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) is sponsored by the Welsh Government and acts as an intermediary body between the Welsh Government and the higher education sector in Wales. We are responsible for funding higher education (HE) in Wales and we distribute funds for education, research and related activities to higher education institutions (HEIs) in Wales with a current budget of &385m GBP per annum.

HEFCW implemented CODA Dream in June 2005 and since then it has been developed with Hexagon, its current consultants to meet ongoing business needs. As well as CODA Dream, HEFCW uses DreamView, Task Centre, Crystal Reports and Web Acumen to create an integrated system for its day to day processing and reporting requirements. The finance team processes approximately 2 000 documents for payment per year usually paid by BACS comprising of payments to suppliers and HEIs as well as payroll related payments. HEFCW uses an electronic form for grant payment to HEIs which are profiled over a period of time. These profiles are held within Dream but only transferred to purchase ledger when they become due for payment. HEFCW uses an automated purchase order system allowing ordering and authorising to be completed outside of the finance department through the use of WebAcumen. The authorisation process is integrated with budget and contract values. The reporting systems are used to produce regular monthly and/or quarterly management information and budget information on a cash as well as accruals basis. The system holds multiple annual budgets for financial (April to March) as well as academic (August to July) years. HEFCW is seeking to appoint consultants to provide maintenance and support services and licences for its CODA Dream finance system and associated products. Support will be mainly in the form of remote support with on-site visits being kept to a minimum. The finance operational team of four is supported by an in-house IT team of 3. As this is a well established system and both finance and IT staff have developed reasonable levels of knowledge, HEFCW does not anticipate support levels required to be high. HEFCW's requirement can be split into 2 parts: (1) the annual renewal of the following licences: - Unit 4 CODA Dream licence-this is required for HEFCW to receive upgrades and updates, - Unit 4 CODA DreamView licence – this is used to link the Dream database to Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.
