We’ve identified the need to re-develop the current PARTNERS Programme Supported Entry Route website (www.ncl.ac.uk/partners). The development of this site has been very organic over many years and this has led to a lack of consistency on the site.

We are seeking to appoint a supplier to work on the redevelopment of the website. The supplier needs to have the ability to understand the variety of audiences, and translate these services into a fluid, content-focussed user-journey.
