Results Management System (RMS) & other System Integration (SI) services - NSWEC 2009/01

The NSW Electoral Commission (NSWEC) is seeking to select an experienced information technology software developer to design and deliver a new Results Management Application (Stage 1) and provide other System Integration (SI) services. The current project will principally focus on the development of a system to be used at the next Parliamentary General election to be held on March 2011, but will also be capable of supporting the identified requirements for the next Local Government election in 2012.

Stage 1 of the Results Management Application project involves the development of the Proportional Representation Computer Count system which will replace the NSWEC’s current proportional representation counting system known as the LC/LG system. This work will be undertaken as a fixed price contract based on the function point count of the as designed system.

Stage 2 will involve the redevelopment or replacement of the current results management functions of the NSWEC’s Election Management Application (EMA). Stage 2 and all subsequent System Integration (SI) work undertaken for the NSWEC will be undertaken on a time and materials basis. The amount of Stage 2 and other SI work is at the discretion of the NSWEC and as such the respondent should not rely on obtaining such work when responding to this RFQ.

Only respondents who have currently been offered a position on the NSW panel contract “ICT Service” may respond to this RFQ.
