Organization overview and procurement intelligence available on paid plans.
The organization seeks a vendor to provide comprehensive website redesign, development, hosting, implementation, and migration services using the Drupal content management system. The redesign will focus on the main public website and the integration of subsites, tools, and wizards. Vendors are expected to enhance the functionality of online applications, with integration focused on optimizing user experience.
Key requirements include implementing SEO functionality compliant with current webmaster protocols, enabling content editors to create tables and calendars, and providing enterprise-level hosting with production, staging, and development environments on Acquia Cloud Next. The new website should be built using the latest stable version of Drupal, utilizing only modules supported by the Drupal.org security team, and the development of themes should involve limited logic with reliance on modules.
The project also calls for a focus on delivering accessible content and informative outreach materials, documenting content types, metadata (including SEO and social media components), and taxonomies. There is a priority on ensuring mobile-first content delivery while maintaining desktop compliance with established branding. The vendor must also design and provide a content migration plan detailing the audit, inventory, and migration of existing site content to the new platform.
A pre-proposal webinar and conference is scheduled, and all questions related to the RFP must be submitted by the specified deadline.
