Department seeks website suppliers

The Department of Health and Ageing is looking for a supplier to host, maintain, update and support its proposed new Toilet Map and Bladder Bowel websites.

The project will include collecting new geospatial data on public toilets around the country and logging it into both an interactive website and mobile application.

Attracting more than 1,000 users each day, the Toilet Map website assists people with incontinence to lead independent lives by providing locations, opening times and disability access information for more than16,000 publicly accessible toilets across Australia.

The Bladder Bowel website provides information on bladder and bowel health to a range of people, including those at risk of, or living with incontinence, their carers and families.

The successful tenderer of this website will need to update the relevant public toilet data set hosted on www.data.gov.au, as well as provide 24/7 maintenance support services.

The department will initially offer a two-year contract starting in June, with three 12-month extension options.

Tender submissions close on 2 March.
