The province of Nova Scotia is seeking quotations from qualified vendors for the procurement, implementation, and ongoing support of a digital public engagement platform. The desired solution must feature a user-friendly content management system, enabling agency staff to independently add and update content through an intuitive backend interface.

Key requirements include seamless integration with existing municipal platforms such as websites and social media, automated workflows for content updates, and a comprehensive suite of interactive tools, including surveys, feedback forms, moderated forums, mapping and geolocation features, and personalized resident dashboards. The platform should allow for both account-based and anonymous participation, offering flexible moderation options.

Additional specifications call for a mobile-responsive design, robust engagement campaign management tools (such as project pages, timelines, document libraries, and newsletters), and secure, Canadian-based cloud hosting with redundancy and high availability. The solution must ensure all data is protected and stored in accordance with Canadian federal and provincial privacy regulations, and must include real-time monitoring dashboards to track engagement activity, participation rates, and geographic distribution of responses.
