Organisation: MEASURE Evaluation SIFSA
The MEASURE Evaluation Strategic Information for South Africa (MEval-SIFSA) project is a President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) initiative that supports the health system in South Africa to produce useful and high-quality information that contributes to sustainable policy, planning, and decision making.
MEASURE Evaluation SIFSA is working with the National Department of Health to create an enabling environment for implementing mHealth interventions in HIV programming within the health system in South Africa. Within this context, mHealth refers to mobile computing, medical sensor, and communications technologies used for the delivery of health related services and the support of medical and public health practice. In order for the department to coordinate mHealth work in South Africa, an up-to-date centrally maintained list of projects, and their features, is required.
This activity requires a South African based service provider to customise a web-based survey tool for the collection of data about mHealth projects. The tool should be web-based, open source, and able to handle text fields together with multiple choice questions for both single and multiple responses. The software should be customised in the following ways:
1) Branding suitable for National Department of Health use.
2) Public registration with email address and password.
3) Presentation of a survey of between 20 and 30 questions which can be updated by administrators of the system at a later date.
4) Allow administrators to mark the responses as current version and validated.
5) Creation of dashboards to allow for public facing reports of current validated projects according to health domain, target beneficiary, geographical area and project maturity.
6) Additional internal notes fields that can be added and seen by administrative staff only.
7) An automated follow up system which will send an email every 6 months to current validated project users reminding them to update their details.
8) Administrative report of new projects and changes emailed to administrative staff every month.
Vendors are invited to suggest a suitable web-based, open source survey tool and are asked to provide information on past experiences using and customising the tool of choice. Vendors will then be shortlisted and asked to provide a quote on a more detailed specification.
The deliverables of the work will be: -
• Certified test scripts ensuring that functionality of the system meets requirements
• Documentation of customisation work completed according to prescribed standards
• Source code of the system including customisation code made available under Customisation code should be made available under the GNU General Public License v2
• Verifiable installation instructions
• Manual for administrative staff
• Technical assistance with installation to ensure the system is functional in its hosted environment
• Technical support for 1 year after installation covering bug fixes to the defined scope and a specified number of hours of technical maintenance.
Service providers should DM their profiles and expression of interest before 31st March 2016.
