The Government is looking for partners to move forward with its digitisation efforts to boost efficiency.

A request for proposal, published on the government procurement website on Friday, sought submissions for partnering with the Government on “digital transformation activities”.

The RFP was focused on three specific areas, including the implementation of artificial intelligence to automate government processes; improvements to the unified payment platform to improve services; and enhancements of the “one-stop shop” for government transactions.

It said: “The Government of Bermuda is committed to a comprehensive digital transformation agenda aimed at improving citizen engagement, streamlining service delivery and driving greater efficiency across its departments.

“To achieve these objectives, we are focusing on several high-priority projects that will leverage advanced digital technologies, improve data management and simplify the public's interaction with government services.

“In this regard, the Government of Bermuda is inviting qualified vendors to submit proposals for a strategic partnership to assist in advancing key initiatives that are part of our ongoing digital transformation efforts.

“Specifically, we seek to implement cutting-edge technologies to enhance public service delivery, improve operational efficiency and streamline citizen interactions with the Government.”

The RFP added that the Government sought vendors with a “proven track record”, particularly in the public sector.

The deadline for submissions is 5pm on November 29.

The Government announced in September it had allocated $1.5 million for “digital transformation”, whereby administrative processes formerly carried out by paper get replaced by computer technology.
