OPTIONAL ELEMENTS Items B (14) and B (15) are Optional Elements in respect of which Tenderers may submit proposals. At this stage prices are not required. Development of Common Information Technology Platform 1. It is an objective of the Office of the Houses of the Oireachtas to put in place a common platform. The requirements of the system are that it is capable of formatting, exchanging, processing, presentation, publication and archival storage/retrieval/ indexing/searching of data in printed and electronic formats to agreed, recognised standards and including, in particular, the capability for the Office of the Houses of the Oireachtas to make corrections and amendments to texts at all stages in the production process. 2. It is a requirement of the Office of the Houses of the Oireachtas that the Contractor shall have the ability and the capacity to become a strategic partner of the Office in the development, implementation and ongoing use of the common platform. 3. The common platform will be based on a recognised open standard, tailored to the particular requirements of the Office of the Houses of the Oireachtas. 4. The common platform will facilitate- i. the standardisation of formats and structures in which data is prepared, held and used; ii. the efficient and economic exchange of data between the Office, the Contractor and third parties; iii. the processing, presentation and publication of structured and formatted data in printed and electronic formats; iv. the publication on the world wide web of data in structured form; v. the archiving, indexing, retrieval, searching, etc. of data (including historical data). vi. the making, by the Office of the Houses of the Oireachtas, of corrections and amendments to texts at all stages in the production process. 5. Each tenderer is asked to submit a short and concise proposal dealing with the following matters: i. the broad scope and functionality of the proposed system, including proposals as to the appropriate data definition and transmission standards (in this regard, it should be noted that the Office is particularly interested in exploring the possibilities offered by the usage of XML); ii. the technical capacity to deliver the system either alone or with the assistance of third party technical expertise; iii. how the joint development would be managed; and iv. the likely timescale for its completion. 6. In the event that the Contractor is not involved as a strategic development partner of the Office of the Houses of the Oireachtas (i.e. where the development of a common platform is undertaken by the Office in conjunction with a third party), the Contractor shall nonetheless adopt, implement and operate on such platform as shall have been developed as a result and shall accordingly be required to have demonstrated the ability and capacity to do so in the manner specified. 7. Should any doubt, dispute or difference of opinion otherwise arise as between the strategic partners, the Office of the Houses of the Oireachtas may determine the approach to be taken to achieve the common platform, having regard to what, in the opinion of the Controller, is reasonably feasible for the Contractor, and the Contractor shall comply with any such approach, including where such approach involves the participation of a third party in the development, and whether with or without the continued participation of the Contractor. Web Publishing 1. General Background Tenderers should have demonstrable and proven ability to develop websites. At present, the website is hosted by the Centre for Management Organisation and Development (CMOD), Department of Finance. The formatting (using Microsoft Frontpage) of material is undertaken remotely and then published to the State Web Server. 2. Future Intentions a) material covered by this contract is published electronically to the Web in the shortest possible time; and b) the same material can be accessed in a number of ways consistent with the business needs of the Houses Examples would be the publication of items of business generally (including Bills) - alphabetically, - as per the weekly schedules of parliamentary business and - as per the Order for Business for a given day with direct access to related documents in each case (e.g. previous debates on the matter, previous version of Bill etc.). In this context, the Office also wishes to integrate the publishing function with its own internal business processes. The current vision is of a database-driven solution, developed in partnership with the successful tenderer, which meets internal information needs as well as serving the traditional and new media publishing functions. 3. Proposals for Re-designing, Hosting and/or Maintaining Website (a) indicate their technical capacity to redesign, host and/or maintain all or part of the Houses' Website, either themselves or in conjunction with a third party The successful tenderer will be required to review the current design of the Office of the Houses of the Oireachtas website, suggest improvements (vis-a-vis user friendliness etc.) and maintain the website. This will include providing links between documents (e.g. between Bills and debates), discussion fora, a service for schools, etc. A new search engine may be required. However, one may be provided by the Department of Finance who host the website at present. The redesign and improvement of the existing website will be carried out in conjunction with a member(s) of staff to be nominated by the Office. (b) indicate the basis on which technical capacity is asserted (c) provide reference sites where the tenderer has had a previous involvement in such activities (d) outline their proposed technical solutions to design, hosting and maintenance issues.
