what do we need done vs what do we need to be do

The correct phrase is 'what do we need done'. The second phrase 'what do we need to be do' is incorrect because 'to be' should not be followed by the base form of the verb 'do'. Instead, 'to be' should be followed by the past participle form of the verb.
