IFST is inviting tenders from digital agencies and web development partners to design, build and deliver a new website for the Institute. Our current site, www.ifst.org, runs on Drupal 7, which no longer receives security updates. Rather than migrate the existing site, we have decided to replace it in full, with a platform that reflects our standing as the UK's leading professional body for food science and technology and supports our transition to become the Chartered Institute of Food Science and Technology.
We are looking for a partner who can deliver a modern, accessible and fully responsive site, with strong search, secure member-only areas, and reliable integration with our existing membership and identity systems.
Full details of the requirements, evaluation process and submission instructions are set out in the attached Invitation to Tender document.

Questions and submissions should be sent to Bobby Edge-Partington, Head of Knowledge, Learning and Communications, at r.edgepartington@ifst.org.
