This prior information notice (PIN) is to announce that the Malta Information Technology Agency (MITA) will be publishing a call for tenders (CfT) for the procurement of analysis, design and software development services as part of the modernisation of Government of Malta’s core IT systems in approximately Quarter 1 of 2020.
This package will involve the design and development of all front-end applications required for the new taxation systems and the social security systems. The application developed within this lot, will integrate with backend APIs produced within Lot 2A and Lot 2B and therefore requires work in close collaboration with other suppliers.
1) Analysis of current legacy applications – Powerbuilder, Informix 4GL/SPL and .Net (including reverse engineering existing source-code);
2) Understand the high-level designs of each domain, especially the UI components required and produce correspondent low-level design specifications for development;
