Descriptions

LINETS has an existing web portal which provides around 1800 public sector subscribers with a single sign-on gateway to premium legal databases and research material hosted on suppliers online platforms. The existing web portal is built using Joomla v3 and hosted externally. An upgrade to version 4 is planned during the existing contract. The site is visited by around 300 users daily/1,200 monthly, with around 25,000 page views per month. Users sign into the portal using accounts created by LINETS staff. LINETS is looking for a single supplier to host, develop and support a solution that meets the following aims: All existing features to be retained; Developed using commonly used software and a standard template to ease future maintenance; It should be possible for non-technical staff to maintain the user database and edit site content; The ability to offer single sign-on access to the LINETS site from users corporate networks may be a future requirement; Compliant with the Data Protection Act 2018; Meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines; Includes a development environment for the proving of changes and patches prior to implementation in the production environment; Secure role-based access control with multi-factor authentication for site administrators; A seamless migration from the current contract to the new contract with little or no disruption to users, and the same at the end of the new contract.
