The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (the Ministry) is seeking to obtain a high quality Video Interpreting Service (VIS), being an amalgamation of the current Video Relay Service (VRS) and Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) service, and effective promotion of the new service. Currently in New Zealand, VRS is an on-demand service and VRI is a booked service. An alternative and more efficient model is to offer a VIS that encompasses both VRS and VRI. The Ministry invites suitably qualified suppliers to submit a Tender for how they will achieve this outcome.
The combined VIS must ensure provision of:
a. A technology platform that supports the required protocols and the associated telecommunications network services
b. Premises
c. Workstations
d. VIS centre management including but not limited to staff recruitment, training and scheduling
e. New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL)/English interpreters
f. A helpdesk for end-user support
g. Monthly reporting
h. Effective promotion of the VIS to the User communities
i. Project and account management
