Decision:

To award a contract for services to provide an updated and refreshed “Visit Gloucester” website to Simpleview/New Mind Internet Consultancy

Reasons for the decision:

An early and urgent focus on improving the City’s online marketing presence was identified in reports on the consequences of the demise of Marketing Gloucester Ltd.  This decision is consistent with the recommendations made in that report.

Alternative options considered:

Alternatives were considered and rejected because of the urgency of the actions needed and the fact that the scope and breadth of the task was likely to lead to a very reduced competitive market and very possibly only one supplier.
