Website Development, Hosting, Migration and Testing Service Using Drupal CMS

The agency is seeking a hosting service provider for its Drupal-based, high-traffic public website. The selected provider must deliver a highly secure, fast, and reliable hosting environment, which includes regular security updates and patches for Drupal core, contributed modules, and themes. To protect against unauthorized access, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and other application-layer threats, the agency requires a Web Application Firewall and a network-level firewall. The scope of work covers website development, hosting, migration, and testing services using the Drupal content management system. The agency requires three-tier environments consisting of development, testing, and production, with seamless migration of changes between these environments. The provider must manage all server administration and maintenance tasks, offer a user-friendly control panel for managing domains and databases, and successfully migrate the existing Drupal-based website to the new platform. The agency demands fast page load times and a guaranteed minimum uptime of 99.9 percent for the production environment, with monthly downtime calculations documented in performance reports. The provider must supply tools and features to test and monitor website performance, load times, and uptimes, alongside delivering quick resolution of any issues that arise in the production environment. Bidders worldwide are eligible to submit proposals for this opportunity. The agency expects the performance of the work to take place offsite. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget.
