Call for Proposal Development of Mobile Application for Information/Resource Sharing and Complaint Process Communication

Announcement Description

The Parliamentary Centre of Asia (PCAsia) is seeking a competent IT company to develop a comprehensive and user-friendly mobile application for dissemination of parliamentary information and for citizen complaint submissions.

Parliamentary Centre of Asia

The Parliamentary Centre of Asia (PCAsia), established in early 2021 in Phnom Penh, is the successor of the Parliamentary Institute of Cambodia (PIC) founded in 2011, a transition that reflects an expansion of activities with Parliaments across Southeast Asia, and encouraged through an MoU with the ASEAN Inter-parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) and the adoption of resolutions by AIPA’s General Assembly. The mandate of PCAsia is therefore to contribute to the strengthening of Southeast Asian Parliaments through capacity building of their staff, based on the demands or requests of each Parliament. It draws on the expertise of national, regional, and international partners (Parliaments and research centres).

Description of services

PCAsia is seeking to identify a competent IT company to develop, design and train in the use of a mobile application that supports the mutual communication between the Parliament and its constituents.

With the fast development of digital communication, the Parliament’s approach to communication must evolve too. At the present time, many people in both urban and remote areas have smart phones or tablets. They are accessing information and resources via their phone/tablet more often than via computer. They can use some mobile applications even when there is no internet, with varying levels of functionality. Thus, mobile applications are one of the most convenient tools to support communication, to provide online resources and to facilitate some work processes.

In consideration of this, the Senate of Cambodia intends to develop a mobile application to support its two-way communication with the public.

The mobile application should serve as a communication tool, having the capacity to both send and receive, and the platform where the Parliament can disseminate information and resources that are useful for the public and can receive and respond to citizen’s requests and complaints.

The mobile application will also describe the role, work and activities of the Senate.

Timeframe

  • The service is expected to start from 1 June 2022 with a duration of 5 months (1 June - 30 November 2022).
  • The Application Developer will share progress reports on a weekly basis during design
