National Information Technology Board (NITB) is the client and will lead implementation and stakeholder coordination. The notice seeks a lead consultant to design, develop, and deploy a national digital citizen services platform and web portal.

The contract will follow World Bank procurement rules and the quality and cost-based selection method. The project is funded under DEEP with a total program budget of $77.73 million and World Bank Credit number 7514 PK. The consultancy project will be scheduled over a year and will include architecture design creation, pilot launch, countrywide implementation, and technical handover to government personnel.

The consultant will integrate the platform with the national digital identity system, shared government data layers, and a government-hosted cloud environment.

The scope involves testing the performance of the security testing, user training, and documentation. The technical proposals should not include price information, and cost proposals will be sought during the RFP step.
