The main assumptions at this stage are as follows: • Initially, applications are likely to be low volume but increase rapidly as the island’s profile increases. • The e-visa system is likely to require applicants to answer 10-20 questions, some of which will be ‘drop down’ menu format, some free-text. • The e-visa system will need to be capable of uploading and transmitting scanned supporting documents from applicants to decision makers. • The system will need to provide an appropriate level of secure transmission of information to St. Helena. • A secure payment system will need to form part of the proposal. • It is expected that the output following successful applicaiton will be a document which is sent back to applicants with a unique identifier, e.g. URN, barcode or similar which can be assessed by immigration officers when the person arrives at border control (or earlier by airline officials at port of departure) – however, alternate methods will be considered if providers have other systems which have been successfully utilised elsewhere. Proposal content: • A synopsis of your organisation including experience of delivering visa services. • An indicative price for the initial setup of the system. • Detail of any ongoing costs including where work is required to alter the initial design with an indicative day rate. • The level of security / encryption for transmission of personal information / documents / payment information. • Proposed method for returning a notification of the e-visa decision and proposal for ensuring that each visa is uniquely attributable to one individual. • Timescales inc delivery and testing.
