LINZ is seeking a professional services and support supplier to migrate, redesign, and support the main LINZ public-facing website (linz.govt.nz). The site runs on Drupal 7 and needs to be upgraded (to Drupal 9 or later version) before support for Drupal 7 ends in November 2022.
The website also needs a design refresh to reflect our brand guidelines and improve the user experience e.g. use of user interface components and improved page template layouts and navigation. LINZ has capacity to develop a new information architecture and do UX research. We’ve made a start and look forward to getting input from the successful Respondent.

We are looking for a capable and experienced supplier to provide an informed estimate for professional services to plan, design, build, implement, and maintain a web solution aligned to our requirements. This information shall be used in the development of a detailed business case to secure funding for the project that has already been provisionally allocated. Respondents must have a proven record of successfully implementing web capability at a similar level of complexity and be able to offer ongoing support.

We need:
a) a Drupal 9 content management solution with general capability that is easy to support and maintain
b) a solution that is either hosted in the LINZ public cloud (AWS or Azure) or is provided by the vendor as ‘Content as a Service’ (CaaS)
c) a website adhering to the LINZ Brand Guidelines (Attachment Three). New page template elements must extend the existing LINZ User Interface (LUI). Note these are considered living entities and can change over time
d) authoring processes and workflow systems that enable our ‘embargo’ process, e.g. consultation document or information release
e) an improved search experience for our users, with the tools for administrators to analyse and optimise search results
f) application development and integration capabilities identified in Attachment Two – Application Integration
g) a supplier with demonstrated capability and capacity to meet objectives within the required timeframes
h) a low-risk approach to planning and implementation with clear milestones throughout the transition process.

This tender has been awarded.
