The Consultant shall furnish documentary evidence (including information about the completed contracts and contact information of clients from whom the references could be taken or whom the Client may, when necessary, visit to familiarize themselves with the systems put into operation by the Consultant) to demonstrate that it meets the shortlisting requirements.

The shortlisting criteria are: 

  • At least five (5) years in operation with main part of its business being the development of information systems.
