We need a supplier that can deliver the following:



1) A secure and scalable Joomla-based community web site that includes single sign-on functionality that will allow users to log in to other web sites that we may own in the future.



2) A FireFox plugin that implements a mashup and which will be made available through the Joomla community site mentioned in (1) and on other 3rd party websites such as CNET.



Further Information:



- The mashup is based on an existing freeware implementation for which we can provide significant technical detail including links to the source code.



- The freeware implementation mentioned above is a FireFox plugin.  FireFox is also our priority but we want to port the solution to Internet Explorer within weeks of the initial launch, with other browsers to follow soon afterwards.



- All users of the plugin will have to register but we do not want the Joomla site to be the only place to get the download.  Therefore both the Joomla site and the plugin will implement the same registration/login feature and will share user credentials in the database.  The freeware implementation mentioned above uses a similar approach.



- There will be a screen scraping exercise to provide the initial data population.



- There will be a need to implement automated test scripts in selenium.



- There will be a need to provide ongoing development support within an

agreed contract.



Important Note :



The quotation will cover the initial delivery of both the website and the plugin as well as the support.  However there is a lot of further work planned so the supplier must be able to commit to a long-term roadmap of work delivered in agile increments.



Technical Requirements :

The supplier must have in-house expertise in the following:
Php5, MySQL (ideally with experience of clustered configurations), javascript, html, xpath, css, linux, browser plugin development experience (e.g. xpcom), Joomla and Selenium.
Timescale :
As soon as possible.  Please provide details of availability.
