We've already largely established what features and content we require
and the other major issues that need to be considered, and have also
been researching and documenting the information architecture required
for the site in some detail and in a number of ways (diagrams mostly).
Visual design we've not specified in any great detail, as are somewhat
flexible in this, but have some general principles we need to adhere
to - accessibility obviously, but the site also needs to look slick,
but clear, whilst also being highly usable for a range of users, both
specialists and the general public, so we think a layered approach is
required here. We would like to use a Content Management System to
manage the site, including probably the high-level themes, but
object-level information will need to be retrieved from out
collections management system's database. We're also aware of some of
the potential drawbacks of using a CMS that isn't easily extended
(e.g. via an API) or that imposes its own constraints over what we can
do, so we need something quite flexible.

However, my main concern is how to prepare and present this
information for a formal tender in a way that potential suppliers
would find useful...
