Advance Notice - Information and Knowledge Management Solution and Associated Services

Details

Inland Revenue intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to the open market late February/early March (pending IR’s internal approval process) for:
• A preferred Information and Knowledge Management Solution (Solution or IKM Solution).
• A preferred provider(s) of the IKM Solution, including associated design, implementation, testing, training, product maintenance and application management services.

The IKM Solution sought by Inland Revenue is the combination of the following capabilities, able to operate as an integrated platform in satisfaction of the Requirements set out in the RFP:
• Core Enterprise Content Management (Core ECM) comprises:
o Enterprise Repository
o Document Management
o Records Management
o Enterprise Repository Search
o Semantic Domain
• Broader Information and Knowledge Management (Broader IKM) comprises:
o Enterprise-Wide Search
o Collaboration
o Intranet platform integration and management
o External web channel integration and management
o Mobility
o Email Management
o Archiving
o Integration of the Enterprise Repository with the Enterprise Support Services Platform
Inland Revenue requires a single lead organisation with appropriate experience to provide the IKM Solution and associated services. Proposals from consortia are acceptable, provided that there is one single, responsible lead. Within this ‘single lead’ structure, it is still important to Inland Revenue that we retain relationships with all members of any consortium and, in particular, with all providers of the underlying technology. This is principally to make sure that Inland Revenue’s future requirements align with the providers’ technology roadmaps.

Participants will have 23 working days to respond.

Inland Revenue will be holding a Vendor Briefing for potential Respondents shortly after the RFP is released. Full details will be provided in the RFP.

We thank you in advance for your interest in this opportunity.
