The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has issued the notice of award (NOA) to Unisys Public Sector Services Corporation (Unisys) for the Civil Registry System-IT PPP Project (Phase II).

As we informed in June, the Philippine PPP Center only received one bid for the public-private partnership (PPP) project that will upgrade the Philippine’s civil registry services. 

In early March we reported that three interested parties showed interest in the project: The Morpho-Filmetrics-Frey Consortium, Unisys Public Sector Services Corp. and PNJ Partnership Consortium.

The preferred bidder will have to finance, design, develop, operate, and maintain the CRS-ITP2, which is a successor project to CRS-ITP implemented in 2000.

The P1.59-billion project will involve the computerization of the civil registry operations of the Philippine statistics authority (PSA) and is designed to collect, access, store, maintain and manage civil registry documents and the specimen signatures of all city and municipal registrars using imaging technology.

The project will also include production of vital statistics and makes the civil registry services available nationwide through the CRS outlets and other authorized partners.
