Wanted: contractor to manage UK version of PMC

The Wellcome Trust is looking to hire "a single contractor to host and manage a suite of applications to provide a UK version of PubMed Central (UKPMC)." From the site:
The aim of this initiative is to create a stable, permanent and free-to-access digital archive of the full-text, peer-reviewed research publications (and datasets) that arise from the research funded by the UKPMC Implementation Group. UKPMC will be fully searchable and provide context-sensitive links to other online resources, such as gene and chemical compound databases.
