ICIMOD is setting out to transform how users access our data, knowledge, and services by vastly improving the range, uptake, and quality of our digital presence, tools, and services. Following the completion of a comprehensive digital and data discovery and audience needs analysis in 2024, which included the development of research and audience analysis, and draft wireframes for the main ICIMOD.org domain, ICIMOD now seeks a consultancy firm to design and execute the digital overhaul.

Goals

• To create a contemporary website space, in line with the latest technologies, by rebuilding ICIMOD’s core WordPress properties, organising content and processes to increase discoverability, accessibility, maintainability, and security.
• To increase the outreach of our knowledge products through increased web traffic, and rapid updating possibilities through, e.g. quickly designing compelling visual stories, integrating content, and improving search following a user-tested design.
• To have a robust, enterprise-grade hosting solution that maintains a fast-loading website and mitigates security and downtime risks.
• Highlight ICIMOD’s uniqueness, its Regional Member Countries, experts, partners, networks, information services and tools.
• To provide insight on our achievements, outcomes and impacts by bringing our Results Dashboard and annual progress reporting online.
• Build the ICIMOD staff’s capacity in Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), content creation, and user interface/user experience (UI/UX).

Dates:

• Submission deadline: 30 June 2025, 11:59 pm, Nepal Standard Time (UTC+05:45).
• Pre-bid Q&A meeting with vendors: 18 June 2025 (link inside the ToR document)
