The duration of the services for conducting this assignment is expected to be thirty-six (36) weeks (approximately nine (9) months) from contract commencement, comprising Phase 1 (Weeks 1–16) and Phase 2 (Weeks 17–36).

The detailed Terms of Reference (ToR) for the assignment can be found upon request to the following email:

The firm must have carried out at least one (1) assignment of a similar nature and scope involving the assessment and design of a public financial management system or municipal revenue system in a developing country.

The firm should demonstrate proven experience in the assessment, design, development/configuration and implementation of large-scale public-sector ICT systems, preferably financial management, municipal revenue, taxation, billing, payment, or related government information systems.

The consultant should demonstrate experience in system architecture, database design and administration, software development lifecycle management, performance/scalability assessment, information security, testing, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), deployment, operational handover and post-deployment support.

The consultant should demonstrate experience in GIS/SDI-enabled systems and geospatial interoperability, including integration of GIS workflows with enterprise applications and, where feasible, use of open-source technologies such as PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GeoServer and QGIS or equivalent technologies.

The consultant should demonstrate experience in systems interoperability and API/data exchange integration with government platforms such as e-payment gateways, revenue/tax systems, land administration systems, digital government platforms or other comparable public systems, including data migration, cleansing, reconciliation, logging and auditability.

Experience in capacity building and Training-of-Trainers (ToT), including development of user/admin manuals and institutional knowledge transfer, is desirable.

In the case of a joint venture, all the partners in the joint venture shall be jointly and severally liable for the entire contract, if selected.
