Back Ground
The Government of the Union of Myanmar has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Telecommunications Sector Reform (TSR) Project.
The project development objectives are to:
- improve the enabling environment for the telecommunications sector and extend coverage in selected remote pilot locations; and
- establish priority e-Government technological foundations and institutional capacity for government to embark on its public sector reform program
The TSR project takes an integrated approach to the development of the ICT sector in Myanmar. It has four substantive and interrelated components. Creating an enabling policy, regulatory and legal environment will facilitate the establishment of a competitive telecommunications market. This will lead to an expansion of good quality and affordable communications in Myanmar. Institutional reform of the Government-owned incumbent, Myanmar Post and Telecommunications (MPT), will enable appropriate separation of the policy and operational functions of the Government, facilitating the establishment of a level playing field in the sector. The development of a universal service strategy and implementation of pilots will ensure the expansion of services to extremely remote communities.
Finally, the establishment of key priority e-Government foundations will allow for common technical horizontals/shared services that government agencies will have access to in order to facilitate the use of ICT for governance reforms and public sector modernization.
Based on the findings of ICT sectors and existing Myanmar Research and Education Network, MoTC is proposing to undertake a Feasibility Study for Government Network GovNet and Myanmar Research and Education Network (MMREN) System Design.
MoTC now invites eligible firm to indicate their interest in providing the consultancy services for the said Feasibility Study. Interested Firms should provide information demonstrating that they have the required qualifications and relevant experience as mentioned in ToR to perform the assignment.
