Government Seeks Proposals for New Zealand Relay Service Provider

On 21 October, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment issued a request for proposals to select a provider for the New Zealand Relay Service, following a public consultation on the service’s future. The procurement creates an opportunity for qualified communications and accessibility-service providers to review the government’s requirements. Technology firms can assess potential roles in communications platforms, service delivery, accessibility systems and technical support. The reviewed announcement did not disclose the contract’s budget or award value.
