(NU/1589–57) NU Policy (Newcastle University Strategic Policy Engagement) Website and Content Development

We are seeking to appoint a supplier to create a new website for NU Policy that will revitalise and expand our web presence for policy engagement. We require a supplier to create a comprehensive repository for our policy engagement activity and a resource that will serve to: • enhance our reputation for impactful policy engagement and support our work to position Newcastle as a go-to source for government of evidence-based research for policymaking. • build up a resource that will enable us to respond swiftly and effectively to emerging government priorities by providing relevant examples of similar work that will demonstrate how we might contribute/support future policy development. • provide a more visible and easy-to-navigate ‘way in’ to the University for policymakers, encouraging them to work with our academic experts. The project is split into two phases: - Phase 1 focuses on getting the MVP site live by the end of July 2022. - Phase 2 focuses on the continued development of the site using a retainer arrangement and is optional depending on the proposals tendered.
