Nothing for spec in Sion Simon's figures, and the Annual Maintenance (85k) looks cheap - that is one and a bit people, and most District Councils have a full time web-bod. Do they have 50 people in different areas who contribute and had to be trained for half a day? How much content is there? Does 900k include back-end databases? Too little information :-) I once knew of a misunderstanding where one party thought "design" included cleansing, data entry and proofing of 5000 records. Hmmm.
