Details

This Request for Proposals (the “RFP”) is an invitation by The City to submit non-binding proposals for the Redevelopment and Deployment of an Employee Intranet (the Deliverables) as set out in this section of the RFP. The selected Proponent will be requested to enter into negotiations for an agreement with The City for the provision of the Deliverables. The City is seeking a partner who can leverage its existing investment in Microsoft 365 to deliver a modern employee experience that reflects best practices in internal communications, information architecture, accessibility, and digital workplace design. Microsoft SharePoint Online will serve as the foundational platform for the future intranet; however, The City is seeking a solution that significantly enhances the capabilities and user experience of a standard SharePoint Online implementation. The City has determined that additional capabilities are required to deliver the level of employee engagement, personalization, collaboration, governance, search, analytics, and overall user experience envisioned for the future intranet.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this it & telecom opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
