DESCRIPTION

The agency seeks a provider for comprehensive website hosting, maintenance, and support services. This includes ongoing development, support, hosting, and maintenance for the main agency website and associated sites—all built on Umbraco version 13 within a single Umbraco instance. The provider will manage the multi-site architecture, ensure hosting is delivered via dedicated Microsoft Azure infrastructure, and extend these services to any future websites required by the agency.

The vendor will be responsible for supporting upgrades to newer Umbraco versions as needed, collaborating on an ongoing improvement plan, and implementing requirements resulting from penetration testing within agreed timelines. Transitioning the websites from the incumbent hosting provider must be accomplished smoothly. The environment setup includes development, staging, and production environments, each with a dedicated database to allow safe, isolated testing. Services must ensure responsive scaling to handle traffic surges, DDoS protection, maintenance of individual site structures, and automated Azure DevOps pipelines for seamless deployment processes.
