The organization is seeking vendors to modernize its public-facing website and internal-facing portal by migrating to a Drupal 9 or higher solution. The new platform must be hosted in the cloud and utilize Git-based version control for efficient content and code management.

Drupal is required as the content management system because it is the only widely supported, open-source CMS that natively integrates the Government of Canada’s Web Experience Toolkit (WET), Design System, and ensures compliance with mandatory digital standards. The modernization initiative aims to enhance usability, accessibility, and maintainability, while meeting government requirements from the outset.
