Request For Proposals for G-PSF Management Information System (G-PSF MIS) Feasibility Study
Announcement Description
1. Background
Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED) is Australia's flagship bilateral economic development facility in Cambodia. Funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and implemented by Cowater International, CAPRED focuses on supporting inclusive economic recovery and boosting resilience and sustainability over the next five years from 2022 to 2027. CAPRED adopts a mix of a programmatic and facility model. The facility model allows CAPRED to flexibly tackle a range of emerging inter-related public and private sector constraints and opportunities to promote resilient, inclusive, and sustainable growth (RISE) across different sectors.
CAPRED is supporting the Cambodian Government - Private Sector Forum (G-PSF). The G-PSF is Cambodia's peak multi-stakeholder platform for fostering dialogue and partnerships between the RGC and the private sector. Established in 1999, the G-PSF plenary is chaired by the Prime Minister. G-PSF comprises sixteen (16) Working Groups (WGs). These WGs are co-chaired by a government minister and a representative from the private sector. The Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) is the main Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) secretariat whereas the Cambodian Chamber of Commerce (CCC) is the private sector's secretariat. Other stakeholders include Business Membership Organisations (BMOs) in the respective sectoral WGs of G-PSF.
CAPRED has been supporting the G-PSF tracking system with online functions of a database that deploys Microsoft Excel. There is an emerging demand for upgrading from the current system to a G-PSF Monitoring and Evaluation system that is online, comprehensive, and has interactive interfaces.

Read moreTechnology adoption is a key priority in the clean water supply sector to enhance water operators' performance in terms of water quality and operational efficiency. The SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system is globally recognized as a crucial technology for this purpose, providing real-time monitoring and control over the entire water supply system. SCADA systems also enable water operators to manage multiple water utilities effectively.
While the SCADA system is widely adopted by large water utilities, it is less common among small and medium-sized water utilities. In this pilot project, CAPRED aims to test the viability of SCADA system adoption for small and medium-sized water utilities in Cambodia.
CAPRED seeks to engage a qualified consulting firm to survey large firms, including both local and foreign-owned large firms, on their linkages with Cambodian SMEs. The survey will determine whether forward and backward linkages exist (number of local SME suppliers), the extent of these linkages (share of total intermediate inputs/costs provided by local SMEs), and where they exist in the value chain. The survey also aims to uncover the constraints and challenges to broader and deeper linkages, and potential strategies and policies to promote and strengthen linkages.
