RFP 19-11 Website Redesign and Content Management System

Cape Cod Community College, an agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is soliciting proposals for the redesign of the College's public-facing website and the migration of its web content to a new cloud-hosted content management system (CMS). The project aims to create a new website that serves as the College's primary marketing and enrollment tool. The RFP outlines requirements such as responsive design, CMS capabilities, search engine optimization, and accessibility compliance. Proposals are due by March 21, 2019 at 2 PM, and the College expects to award the contract and have the new website fully functional within 12 months. The RFP includes a budget of up to $165,000 for the entire project, which encompasses all deliverables. Proposals must include pricing for cloud-hosting and managed services for regular website maintenance. The College will award the contract to the responsive and responsible proposer that provides the best overall value and meets the quality requirements. The winning vendor must sign and return the contract documents by April 17, 2019.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The College is currently using the Liferay CMS version 5.2.2 and is open to considering both open-source and proprietary CMS options. The website redesign project will be overseen by the College's Offices of Strategic Communications and Marketing, and Information Technology, with key stakeholders from those departments involved throughout the process. There is no information provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors.
