The Landeszentrale für politische Bildung Nordrhein-Westfalen ('the client') operates an internet service at the address https://www.politische-bildung.nrw.de (short link: www.lpb.nrw). This offer is currently operated with the content management system (CMS) Typo3 in version 10.4.18 as well as with other software including associated hosting (for Typo3 system, media streaming and backup) from the company +Pluswerk AG (Munich). More detailed information can be found in the attached documentation (Appendix 1).
The entire system must be taken over by the contractor on the basis of the above-mentioned documentation (provision of server architecture and migration of the existing system). External support is required for the necessary maintenance of the installed system and its extensions, as well as support for the technical operation of the associated server architecture.
The existing server architecture is structured as follows:
1. Central Typo3 server (with live and test system)
2. Media Server
3. Separate backup server
The Typo3 server is currently running Linux-based (Oracle Linux 7.7).
The Internet offer www.politische-bildung.nrw.de uses a responsive layout, which is optimized for operation with different device classes (smartphones, tablets, PCs), operating systems (including Windows, Mac, iOS, Android) and browsers (including Edge, Chrome, Safari, Firefox). The streaming of web videos from the media server is guaranteed in all configurations.
The complete offer is encrypted via https://. The contractor takes care of the provision and maintenance of the required certificates.
The dedicated backup server ensures a daily backup of all changed data.
The extensions used in the currently used Typo3 system (open source as well as proprietary developments), the front-end applications, the interfaces (sending mails, etc.), the processes and the rights concept are described in detail in the enclosed documentation (Appendix 1). An overview of the table structure of the system is also attached (Appendix 2).
