Overview

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has responsibility for Telecommunications Relay Services in New Zealand, which allow members of the deaf, hearing-impaired, speech-impaired and deafblind communities to access telecommunications services in a variety of ways.

Current contracts for services expire on 30 June 2019. We are seeking information on the interest and capabilities of potential service providers, to ascertain what technological solutions could be employed to best serve the needs of the user communities.

Through this Request for Information (RFI) process MBIE is seeking to become a more informed buyer, and to better understand what new and innovative solutions can be delivered and the possible cost of these solutions. With this in mind, we are not limiting responses by any specification requirements as we do not wish to rule out any solution that could be employed to meet user needs. We are seeking information on the types of applications, technologies, standards, platforms, services and/or equipment that could be procured by the Crown to best deliver Telecommunications Relay Services in New Zealand beyond 30 June 2019, in alignment with the strategic principles outlined in section 2.2 of the RFI.
