Drupal Services Panel

Drupal Services Panel

The Department of Finance established the current GovCMS Drupal Services Panel (DSP) in October 2021. This arrangement expires on 30 September 2024 with an optional 1-year extension. It’s likely the Department of Finance will refresh the panel during this period. The timing of any refresh is not yet confirmed.  

The DSP is a list of approved suppliers including small to medium enterprises with the necessary skills to work with Drupal and the GovCMS platform. The panel was created to help organisations find Drupal specialists and to simplify contract management arrangements. 

Find out how you can access the Drupal Services Panel

What's on offer?

The Drupal Services Panel has two categories of services available, allowing you to customise your contract to suit your project.  

If you are looking to engage suppliers with specific skills sets, you can access services based on these specialised skills.  

Alternatively, there are predefined service packages which you can buy at a fixed price. There are also one, three and five day site assessment workshops available to help you plan your project. 

Combining the two

We understand that for some projects you may require services from multiple categories. Suppliers are able to quote from multiple categories in the same contract, or quote using the resources in category 1 (time and materials) to define tailored services similar to those available in category 2. 

You can also work with multiple suppliers to deliver one project, but you’ll need to consider the deliverables carefully as you will need separate contracts with each supplier. 

Read the Drupal Services Panel Product and Services Guide to find out more about what's on offer.

Service packages

The Drupal Services Panel includes predefined service packages which you can buy at a fixed price. 

You can choose to buy multiple service packages to deliver a larger scope of work or mix and match services from different suppliers to take advantage of different specialist skills, specific periods of availability, or commercial discounts. 

If you are working with multiple suppliers to deliver one project, you’ll need to consider the deliverables carefully as you will need separate contracts with each supplier.
