THE GOVERNMENT has drawn interest from three groups for a P1.59-billion public-private partnership (PPP) aimed at upgrading the country’s civil registry services.
The Morpho-Filmetrics-Frey Consortium, Unisys Public Sector Services Corp. and PNJ Partnership Consortium attended the pre-bid conference for the Civil Registry System Phase II Project on Feb. 26, Dorcas Ann O. Ho of the PPP Center’s Project Development Service said in an e-mail.
Morpho-Filmetrics-Frey Consortium is composed of security and identity solutions providers Morpho (Safran) and Filmetrics Corp. along with construction firm Frey-Fil Corp.
PNJ Partnership Consortium comprises Japanese system integration firm NTT DATA Corp., Pointwest Technologies Corp., property developer Filinvest Land, Inc., Magellan Capital Holdings Corp. and Fleetwood Holdings, Inc.
The interested groups will have to submit their bids “sometime” in May, said Ms. Ho, noting the PPP Center has yet to finalize the timeline.
The winning bidder will finance, design, develop, operate and maintain the civil registry system for the Philippine Statistics Authority.
The system will collect, access, store, maintain and manage civil registry documents and the specimen signatures of all city and municipal registrars using imaging technology.
The project also includes production of vital statistics and will make the civil registry services available nationwide.
The National Economic and Development Authority Board, chaired by President Benigno S. C. Aquino III, approved the project on July 15, 2015. It forms part of the 55 projects included in the government’s PPP pipeline. -- Keith Richard D. Mariano
