We are seeking to appoint a supplier to work on the redevelopment of three interrelated websites. They are • Newcastle University Institute for Creative Arts Practice (about 15 pages); • Newcastle University Humanities Research Institute (about 15 pages); • Newcastle University Institute of Social Science (about 50 pages).
