# CMS implementation providers

The UPU issued a request for information as it prepares to replace the content management system behind its public website. It invited implementation providers to describe their capabilities, delivery record and indicative costs so the UPU can prepare a future procurement. This is market research for planning the later CMS procurement; the notice does not ask providers to submit bids to implement the system at this stage. Responses were due on 2 October 2026. The notice provides no selection decision, budget or evaluation criteria for a subsequent procurement.
