Procurement

The GovCMS Drupal Services Panel is a pre-qualified panel arrangement that lets eligible Australian government agencies engage approved suppliers directly for Drupal-based digital services, without running a full open tender for every engagement. Morpht has been selected as a supplier on the panel.

Engage a supplier through the GovCMS Drupal Services Panel, build on GovCMS, and start from a starter site that already meets accessibility standards. The panel gives you a pre-approved procurement path. GovCMS SaaS hosting has been assessed under the Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP). Convivial for GovCMS has been audited against WCAG 2.2 AA, so your site starts compliant rather than needing fixes before launch.

Yes. Suppliers on the GovCMS Drupal Services Panel have already been assessed, so eligible agencies can approach them directly without running an open tender. You should still follow your agency’s own procurement guidelines, such as getting quotes and documenting value for money. Morpht can provide a scoped proposal to support that process.

In most cases, no. Engaging Morpht through the GovCMS Drupal Services Panel is designed to replace the need for an open tender for eligible work, reducing procurement time while keeping the engagement compliant.

Through the panel, agencies can procure DXP services including content personalisation, Recommendations as a Service and AI content augmentation, as well as broader user experience, design, content and development services for a full site build.

Yes. Personalisation, Recommendations as a Service and AI content augmentation can be procured as ongoing services through the panel, whether alongside an initial build or added to an existing Convivial site later.

Because most of the foundation, content model, components, and theme system is already built into Convivial, delivery can move quickly, from a rapid "site in a day" starting point through to a full DXP rollout including personalisation and AI augmentation where needed.

Look for a supplier already qualified on the GovCMS Drupal Services Panel, with a proven track record across Australian government sites and a starter product that reduces what needs to be custom-built. Morpht meets all three: panel-approved, an established GovCMS delivery track record, and Convivial as a ready-made foundation.

Useful questions include: 
Are they on the GovCMS Drupal Services Panel? 
What proportion of the build is pre-built versus custom?
How do they handle WCAG compliance?
And what ongoing support or DXP services (personalisation, AI augmentation) are available after launch?

Include the standards your site will be tested against at handover. For most federal agencies, these are WCAG 2.2 AA for accessibility, the Digital Transformation Agency’s (DTA) Digital Experience Policy standards, and the Australian Privacy Principles. Also set expectations for security clearance, testing before launch, documentation, and handover, so the site can be supported by any GovCMS supplier in future.

Yes. The majority of Morpht’s team holds Baseline security clearance, so federal projects can start without onboarding delays. Every engagement has an Australian-based account manager and project manager.
