Notice Title

Building a self-assessment and benchmarking tool for the evaluation of veterinary medicines regulatory agencies (NRAs)

Notice Description

The VMD has developed a set of indicators looking at the different key activities of the regulatory function undertaken by veterinary medicines regulatory agencies based on the WHO's Global Benchmarking Tool. We would now like to develop an electronic version of the tool so that it is easier to complete, get guidance/help and generate report. The VMD is looking to develop a functioning computer-based tool that has a self-assessment and benchmarking components with a web-based administration system. It should be intuitive and not too dissimilar to the WHO tool currently used. It should also have multi-platform functionality (Windows, Mac). The following outputs are required: 1) Computerised veterinary NRA self-assessment tool: a desktop tool (Windows and Mac) which will be used by NRAs to conduct a self-assessment by providing responses to a set of predefined questions. Based on the provided responses, the tool shall automatically calculate and display the provisional category and implementation percentage per function. 2) Computerised veterinary NRA Global benchmarking tool: a more comprehensive desktop tool (Windows and Mac), which will be used during formal benchmarking of NRAs. It shall be similar to the WHO computerized Global Benchmarking Tool (cGBT) as it should not add another burden to regulators that are already familiar with it. In addition to the features mentioned in (1) , the tool will store multiple inputs from the user and allow for automatic generation of reports and presentations. 3) Computerised Administrator web system which is hosted online: an administrative web system, which will be responsible for storing, managing and displaying the data from all countries. The system will be used to generate the required data files for self-assessment and benchmarking, to be imported into the desktop tools. Additionally, the system will conduct automated analysis on the existing data, and display the results in an automated dashboard, with a possibility to export analytics in a PowerPoint and/or Excel format(s). Timeline - the proposed tool and its components must be delivered within 10 months from the start of the contract and within the budget. To apply, bidders are invited to submit a proposal to the requirement to include: Part A - Experience & Evidence of Credibility o Bidders understanding of the function and purpose of the tool o Bidder's understanding of the requirement o Bidder's demonstrated Experience of delivering similar tools Part B - Bidder's Proposed Solution o Bidder's proposed methodology for delivering the contract o Bidder's approach to ensuring quality of the service is maintained throughout the term of the contract o An example of similar product that they had previously developed. Part C - Bidder's Proposed budget o Bidder's proposed budget for the delivery of all the elements mentioned above. Submission must be made by email before the deadline to international@vmd.gov.uk (in MS Word or PDF).
