Web Services Panel

The Web Services Panel (WSP) provides a range of professional services for your agency’s website development. This agreement expires on 30 June 2021 and will be replaced with the Digital Experience Professional Services category in Marketplace.

Service description

The WSP is an All-of-Government approved panel of vendors for developing websites and applications. You can use the WSP and Common Web Platform (CWP) independently of each other.

The panel has 11 categories. The services provided in these categories are additional to CWP:

  • information architecture
  • content design
  • user insight
  • analytics and search engine optimisation
  • application testing
  • visual design
  • front-end development
  • back-end development
  • native application development
  • website accessibility assessment
  • ongoing support.

Delivery

The Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) has contracted 80 vendors to provide services within these 11 categories to government agencies. Vendors may provide services for multiple categories.

Benefits

The WSP is an open panel. This allows:

  • suppliers to join or expand the set of services they provide agencies, and
  • to capture demand from government and innovation from the market.

Specific benefits

  • Reduces the cost and duration of web service development by simplifying requirements gathering, speeding up procurement and reducing the time spent on development.
  • Reduces website management costs across government by using economies of scale and reducing doubling up on compliance costs.
  • Reduces legal costs in establishing contracts. The WSP ICT Common Capability Contract procurement uses Statements of Work.
  • Makes it easier and cheaper to comply with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s Mandatory Rules for Procurement by Departments.
  • Reduces unnecessary investment by encouraging agencies to reuse and share technology and designs already developed by other agencies.
  • Agencies using WSP no longer have to tender for their outsourced web projects, saving time and money.

Adopting the service

This agreement is expiring in June 2021 and we have opened a category in Marketplace under Digital Experience Services where you can begin to procure these services.

If the vendor you want to engage with is not on the Marketplace, you can still continue to use the Web Services Panel until June 2021.

Existing Statements of Work and Orders for Ongoing Technical Support agreements will continue until the end date in those agreements.

Contact marketplace@dia.govt.nz for more information about the replacement programme (Digital Experience Services).

Lead Agency Agreement details

The Lead Agency Agreement permits eligible agencies to enter into subscription agreements (SA) with any of the vendors on the panel to purchase the services described in the agreement.

To take advantage of the All-of-Government contract, agencies may only use the vendor for the services they've been contracted for. If an agency wants to use a vendor for other work, they must conduct a separate purchasing and contracting process.

Agencies using other vendors who are not on the WSP are not required to change vendors but will not be able to access the advantages of the WSP All-of-Government service.
