New Zealand - Website Redesign Service

The New Zealand agency is seeking a vendor to deliver a comprehensive website redesign service. The project covers the development and implementation of a new website, alongside ongoing maintenance, training, web hosting, and technical fixes for the duration of the contract. The agency needs to solve several usability and operational challenges by making publications easier to find through improved filtering, tagging, and search tools, while ensuring diverse document types are presented in tailored formats. To empower internal staff, the agency requires a content management system that supports flexible layouts, draft and publish workflows, and role-based permissions so communications team members can manage content without developer input. The redesigned site must reflect the agency's authority and organizational goals through an intuitive navigation structure and a refreshed homepage. Technical requirements dictate that the platform must meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, load quickly, perform well across all devices and browsers, and remain secure and easy to maintain over the long term. The scope of work also includes integrating diverse visual elements such as imagery, infographics, maps, and interactive data visualizations. To support public engagement, the website must accommodate timely updates, media releases, and resources for public initiatives. The agency is requesting proposals to determine the budget for this three-year contract, and all performance of the work will take place offsite. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in New Zealand. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or through the online portal. The agency has established a deadline of June 29, 2026, for the submission of all clarification questions.
