Description

Housing & Conference Services at McMaster University invites qualified bidders to submit responses for the supply of web design, e-commerce development services and on-going maintenance in accordance with the terms of this Request for Proposals. The Mac Off-Campus current website (https://offcampus.mcmaster.ca/) is a critically important tool for the McMaster community to find off-campus housing. Our current website was built with many plug-ins, which leaves it unstable and constricts which features we can implement for our users. We are looking to sunset this website and relaunch with a new web product. The term of this agreement is for an initial term of three (3) and half years with an option to renew for an additional one (1) year as required, at McMaster’s sole discretion.
