PCC DN - Hitch - I Am Greater Website Hosting and Domain costs 2024/25

Decision Maker: Director for Safer and Stronger Communities

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Hitch hold the hosting and the domain rights to the I am Greater website via previous commissioning in 2023. During Phase 3 (delivered by Agent Marketing) Hitch continued to host the website as Agent Marketing were unable to do so. Phase 4 is being delivered by EY3 Media, and for continuity of service, it has been determined that the most cost-effective way forward is to continue to pay Hitch Marketing this award of £1,020 to continue hosting the I am Greater web domain, as EY3 Media would be required to purchase fresh domain rights which would be less cost effective and more time consuming. This funding award is needed for the website to continue to run effectively.

Decision:

The GM VRU is seeking to award Hitch Marketing £1,020 for the hosting and domain for the I Am Greater website. This is for the period 1st March 2024 – 28th February 2025 inclusive, when the campaign will need to be reviewed.
