Competition unique ID:

Evaluation Mechanism:
QCBS
Description:
The Spectrum Management Authority (SMA) of Jamaica is the national regulator of the spectrum in Jamaica. It is an Agency of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Energy and Mining and was established in 2000, pursuant to the Telecommunications Act, 2000 and became operational in April 2001.
The SMA’s intention is to constantly advance in technology such that its customers continue to experience world-class service and advanced functionalities. At present, the SMA’s licensing processes for creating, modifying and renewing licences require heavy manual (as opposed to automated) activities to be done; manual intervention is required to assist an outdated software. The processes rely heavily on excel spreadsheet reports that are not generated by the current licensing software which in-effect produces errors and longer processing times than necessary. Some applications are currently hand-submitted and in general applications are still somewhat manual; there is no module for seamlessly making payments and submitting licence applications online. There is no means for customers to track how far along their applications are in the process after they make payment or readily know the various licences/licence-applications he or she has with SMA.
The SMA hereby seeks to procure an on-line Electronic Licencing Information System (ELIS) for supporting the processes associated with managing the radio spectrum in accordance with the details covered in the Technical Specifications.
