The Bank of Mauritius published an addendum setting out clarifications for bidders on the National Fintech Committee’s planned digital platform, comprising a public-facing website and a restricted bulletin board for registered committee members. The public website will be accessible to anyone, while the bulletin board will sit in a private space and be accessible only to committee members onboarded by the Bank, with user registration handled through Microsoft 365. Hosting is preferred on a cloud solution and the platform must be compatible with the Bank’s Microsoft 365 environment, with bidders able to propose use of Microsoft 365 E5 tools while ensuring access for invitees outside the Bank domain. The Bank expects to manage content post-launch following training, with bidders asked to quote for around 30 hours of support and around 30 hours of training over three months, and to include an independent security audit; no third-party API integration is required. The Bank did not grant a request to extend the proposal submission deadline beyond 27 February 2025, and bidders are expected to propose their recommended project timelines and service levels as part of their submissions.
