"Module I Planning and ordering of CEMT licenses", page
9 is specified that one of parameters used for planning is ""...-
criteria/formulas determined and sent by the CEMT organization;".
"Criteria/formulas determined and sent by the CEMT Organization" means that the criteria which actually are mathematical formulas, change every year by CEMT Organization, and every year CEMT Organization send this criteria, that is, formulas to its member countries to plan their request/order of CEMT licenses. 3. In the System Description document, page 12, 7.1 Possible Authentication mechanisms it is specified that the system should support also Digital Certificates. Does the MoTC have a Digital Certificates solution already implemented? MoTC does not have any PKI software. The software solution should support digital certificates issued by CAs registered in Macedonia. 4. In the System Description document,
page 12, 9. "Archiving, Back up and Recovery" it is mention
that "A complete subsystem or module should be devised that
will deal with the issues of data archiving, back and recovery". A complete subsystem or a module should be proposed that will deal with the issues of data archiving, back-up and recovery of the data processed during distribution of CEMT licenses. The hardware is not part of this project, beneficiary, in this case Ministry of Transport and Communication is responsible for providing hardware. 5. Does the system have to have multi-language support? If so, which are the (possible) languages for supporting, who is responsible for the translation and who shall supply the official translated texts? As stated in the System Description, Chapter 8, the interface language of the software application will be Macedonian only. 6. Can the bidder base its offer on some ready made software solution available on the market as infrastructure for the CEMT software? For example, the bidder has developed its own web based product that can be used as an infrastructure for the project (ID management, Web infrastructure etc.) The bidder can propose any solution considered to be adequate to the requirements. If additional off-the-shelf software is part of the offer the price for the licenses should be included. 7. Is creation of the official public web site of the Ministry of Transport and Communication in the scope of this project? If so, in which module/phase should it be delivered? Web Site of the Ministry of Transport and Communication is not part of this project. 8. Should existing documents enter the System (assuming that they are hard copies) and if that is the case, how will they enter the system? As stated in the System Description, for this year only, data from the documents received with application will be input in the system manually through corresponding input forms. 9. Regarding point 4. Current infrastructure, should the bidder assume that all HW and SW will be installed and configured, and the bidders job is only to implement/install the application, or the bidder should offer installation and configuration of whole system (installation of Win 2003 Server Standard edition, MS SQL Server etc.) and price for licenses (as the request is for unlimited for both products)? Current infrastructure exists and is implemented in the MoTC and the bidder is responsible for full implementation and installation of the developed solution. Note: Please read carefully
