The Philippine Statistics Authority is inviting interested bidders to submit applications to prequalify to bid for the P1.59-billion Civil Registry System-Information Technology Project II (CRS-ITP2) under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Program.
The PPP Center said in a statement Friday that the CRS-ITP2 involves the computerization of the civil registry operations of the PSA.
It is designed to collect, access, store, maintain and manage civil registry documents and the specimen signatures of all city and municipal registrars using imaging technology.
The project will include production of vital statistics and make the civil registry services available nationwide through the CRS outlets and other authorized partners.
The private proponent will finance, design, develop, operate and maintain the CRS-ITP2. It will also be responsible in the construction of a building that will house the servers of the information technology system.
Invitation documents will be available to interested parties starting September 18, 2015.
