Web Redesign Project

This state and local contracting opportunity is for a web redesign project issued by Mount Wachusett Community College (MWCC) on behalf of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The solicitation seeks a vendor to redesign MWCC's public website, including developing an alternative streamlined homepage for emergency situations, integrating with various web-based systems, and providing translation capabilities. The vendor will also be expected to provide recommendations on an inbound marketing campaign and email marketing tool integration. Bidders must demonstrate experience with higher education websites, enrollment processes, and accessibility compliance, as well as the ability to integrate with the college's existing digital ecosystem. Proposals are due to MWCC by the close of business on January 11, 2016, and the college plans to award the contract to the selected vendor by March 11, 2016, with a target completion date of January 1, 2017.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. MWCC currently uses WordPress for its website and is open to considering other content management systems that can better align with the college's goals and integrate with its existing digital ecosystem. The college does not have an agency of record and developed the current website internally. The RFP does not provide a budget range for the project, stating that this will be discussed with the awarded agency.
