Tender: Development and Maintenance of Cap-Net’s MEL Platform

Objective

The overall objective of the tender is to identify a supplier who will provide the Cap-Net Secretariat with a tailored digital system for comprehensively managing the Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning processes of the organization’s activities. A system may be a single digital platform that matches all requirements listed in the tender or a collection/suite of multiple digital tools that are well-integrated and collectively achieve the full requirements listed in the tender.

Cap-Net's Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) system focuses on measuring and strengthening the impact of capacity development activities (CDAs) delivered by Cap-Net. Through the delivery of these activities on a diverse set of themes, Cap-Net aims to achieve various levels of outcomes relevant to sustainable water management in a broad spectrum. In order to capture these changes, Cap-Net’s current process is based on various data collection and analysis tools, measurement and reporting mechanisms against goals, expected results and indicators within the Cap-Net’s Theory of Change and logical framework.

As part of Cap-Net’s 2021 Work Plan and long-term strategy, Cap-Net seeks to improve its current system through the design and development of an integrated online (natively cloud-based) information management system, hereafter referred to as MEL Platform to measure its achievements towards sustainable water management through a more systematic and accurate approach.

Currently, the objectives of the MEL platform are as follows:

• Automate functions to ease project and grant/contract management processes, integrating existing Microsoft and Google based productivity suites and other in place IT solutions
• Facilitate planning and budgetary processes by input, tracking and visualizing data and information in customizable dashboards.
• Track and report activity, output and outcome-level related progress, milestone completion and delivery status based on set indicators.
• Collect, monitor, and manage members and participant information in databases.
• Allow for systematic data collection, query, analysis and visual presentation through customizable forms, templates, and surveys in a robust and easy to use cloud/web-based platform.
• Facilitate information sharing and learning of service delivery including impact stories, lessons learned, evaluations, and learning reports.
• Facilitate extraction of reports in various graphical and tabular formats.
