The Role

KITA SEHAT seeks to engage a firm/organization for designing, developing, configuring, testing, and operationalising the website, including its user interface, technical infrastructure, hosting integration, security setup, accessibility features, and overall functionality. The procurement will enable KITA SEHAT to assess qualified providers against defined technical, functional, accessibility, security, delivery, and value-for-money requirements and select a provider with the appropriate expertise and capacity to deliver the website within the required timeframe. The current development plan anticipates conducting the tender/bidding process in August–September 2026, followed by website development, testing and finalisation, with the website targeted for launch in January 2027.

Following completion of the development, day-to-day content management will be undertaken internally by the designated CMS-KM focal point under the supervision of the Knowledge and Communications Manager, while specialised technical support will be required for hosting, cybersecurity monitoring, backups, maintenance, and other technical matters. This approach allows KITA SEHAT to procure the specialist expertise required to establish a professional and sustainable platform while retaining internal ownership and control over program content and publication processes.

The Australia–Indonesia Partnership for Health Transformation (KITA SEHAT) requires the development of a dedicated program website as part of its strategic communications, knowledge management, and public information objectives.

The firm/organization (contractor) is expected to achieve the following key outcomes:

1. Develop and operationalise the KITA SEHAT website, with a user-friendly and responsive interface that functions effectively across desktop and mobile devices and major web browser options.
2. Establish a secure, reliable, and maintainable technical environment, including appropriate server and hosting configuration, cybersecurity measures, access management, routine backups, uptime monitoring, and mechanisms for recovery and restoration.
3. Establish a bilingual website in Bahasa Indonesia and English that enables KITA SEHAT to communicate effectively with Government of Indonesia counterparts, the Australian Government, development partners, academia, media, implementing partners, and broader stakeholders.
4. Develop an accessible and inclusive website incorporating relevant Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) in the back end and accessibility-by-design principles, including appropriate features and functionality for people with disabilities, to support KITA SEHAT’s commitment to Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) and ensure equitable access to program information and knowledge products.
5. Provide an effective content management system that enables authorised KITA SEHAT personnel to independently manage and regularly update website content, including news, publications, technical resources, program information, and other knowledge products. Day-to-day content management will ultimately be managed internally by the designated CMS-KM focal point under the supervision of the Knowledge and Communications Manager.
6. Configure the website in accordance with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and metadata principles to support the discoverability of KITA SEHAT content through search engines and smoother search functions within the website. This includes the configuration of search-engine-friendly URLs, page titles and meta descriptions, heading structures, XML sitemap, robots.txt, canonical URLs, image alternative text functionality, social sharing metadata, and relevant structured data/schema markup.
7. Ensure the website is sustainable and suitable for long-term use, including appropriate technical documentation, maintenance arrangements, and functionality that supports the preservation of KITA SEHAT’s knowledge and digital assets and potential future handover to Government of Indonesia counterparts.

The Role

Working in close consultation with KITA SEHAT PMT, MoH counterparts, subnational governments, Puskesmas, communities, and relevant technical stakeholders, the subcontractor will:

• Assess the implementation context for the national last-mile guideline through a bottom-up assessment of primary health care access, service delivery barriers, community needs, health system readiness, and local implementation constraints in selected DTPK-KAT settings.
• Map and analyse previous and existing service delivery initiatives across different DTPK-KAT contexts, including national programmes, for example: Nusantara Sehat - the deployment of health teams to Puskesmas, and subnational and locally initiated approaches, such as telemedicine, mobile health services, task shifting, and local health workforce mobility. The mapping should be organised by DTPK-KAT typology—remote, island, forest, and indigenous people’s contexts—and document where and how each initiative was implemented, the challenges encountered, lessons learned, enabling factors, and adaptations made to respond to local conditions. The findings will provide an evidence base for identifying, adapting, and developing practical service delivery models appropriate to different DTPK-KAT contexts.
• Partner with a university or research institution with expertise in health systems and service delivery to assess several domains: Acceptability to communities, health workers, and local government; Appropriateness, relevance to local context, culture, and health-seeking behaviour; Feasibility, whether the guideline can be delivered with available resources, infrastructure, and workforce; Adoption, uptake and intention to use by Puskesmas and their staff.
• Consolidate and adapt the lessons learned, previous guidelines, and work for the last-mile service delivery model for each selected setting and design the implementation strategies and support needed for it to work, identifying which elements of the guideline can be applied as designed, which require adaptation, and how adaptations preserve the guideline's core intent.
• Conduct limited feasibility testing or practical implementation of selected models, where appropriate and feasible, to generate operational evidence, lessons learned, and recommendations for policy development, governance strengthening, and future scale-up.

The assignment is expected to produce the following outputs:

• A bottom-up assessment report covering needs, access barriers, service delivery challenges, readiness, regulatory considerations, human health worker, and local implementation constraints in selected DTPK- KAT contexts.
• Based on the assessment and mapping, co-designed adaptive primary health care service delivery options that respond to the specific needs and readiness of each location. Operational frameworks and implementation concepts for Telemedicine, Task Shifting, Mobile Health Services, and Local Health Workforce Mobility, adapted to Remote, Islands, Forest, and Indigenous People’s contexts relevant to KITA SEHAT locations. This co-design includes governance arrangements with subnational government, health resource management, technical service delivery requirements, regulatory considerations, and stakeholder alignment.
• Initial testing and documented findings from limited feasibility testing or practical implementation of selected and relevant service delivery approaches, including an oriented and capacity-strengthened health workforce with Puskesmas and Dinas Kesehatan staff — equipped to implement modified service delivery approaches at pilot sites. Ensuring that the proposed models are responsive to local realities and do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Service delivery models must also take into consideration and address the needs, acceptability, and access of relevant marginalised groups in relation to gender, disability, and other factors.
• Evidence-based final recommendations to inform MoH on policy development, governance arrangements, and potential scale-up of adaptive primary health care delivery models in remote and underserved areas.
