Website and Data Repository Development

To support RAAB, an ongoing international survey of eye health, LSHTM runs www.raab.world, a searchable survey data repository accessible via a front-end website built in Drupal 9, which was launched in 2021. Funding has now been secured to expand and improve the repository. The work will include developing and testing a new dataflow, creating analysis tools, building an API and improving data visualisation. This tranche of work has a budget of £50,000 and a target completion date of June 2023.

LSHTM expects to commission further upgrades in 2023-24 and 2024-25 although these haven't yet been defined in detail. The contract will have 2 x 1-year extension options to accommodate these future requirements.

The procurement process will be run entirely through the Mercell e-tendering portal. Bidders are required to submit qualification information as well as technical and commercial proposals.
