SharePoint Design / Development

Job Description

The Minnesota Department of Information Technology Services (MNIT), partnering with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), is seeking a vendor to provide resource(s) to perform SharePoint design and development duties for the MDH intranet website.

MDH's intranet website is instrumental in helping MDH staff do their work. It contains operational information in such areas as human resources, finance, facilities, technology, and communications. It is also a portal to many business applications used daily at MDH.

Please see the Buyer Attachment (MDH Intranet Page List) for a list of the pages on the current site.

The work under this engagement consists of moving the MDH intranet site from the current CMS (Liferay) to SharePoint. The vendor's resource(s) will evaluate the current information architecture to determine how it could be built as a SharePoint Communication site; suggest changes in content organization, structure, and navigation as needed; create a graphic design that combines the needs and desires of MDH intranet owners as well as the capabilities of SharePoint templates; create SharePoint templates as well as a permission scheme; build the SharePoint site using the new templates and design; and populate the site with existing content as applicable.

The work order may be amended / extended in the future to include additional duties / cost pertaining to the implementation of the new MDH intranet site.

Work will be performed off-site / remotely. The vendor's resources must be located within the borders of the United States and be available for meetings during regular business hours of 8 : 00 a.m. - 4 : 30 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday.
