Project Overview and Scope of Work 

The SFA Foundation is seeking proposals from qualified software vendors for the design and development of an organisational intranet and review of our existing document management system. The purpose of this intranet is to provide a centralised platform for internal communication, collaboration, and information sharing among our employees. 

The intranet should be user-friendly, secure, and scalable, with features that cater to the specific needs of our organisation. The successful vendor will be responsible for designing and developing the intranet, as well as providing ongoing technical support and maintenance. 

We invite proposals from experienced software vendors with a proven track record in designing and developing organisational intranets. Interested vendors should submit a detailed proposal outlining their approach, tech stack, methodology, responsiveness to the SFA Foundation needs and pricing. Proposals should also include relevant experience, case studies, and references. 

We look forward to receiving proposals from qualified vendors and selecting a partner who can help us achieve our goal of creating an effective and efficient intranet for our organization. 

In a nutshell, the envisaged platform must fulfil these functions: Communication, Collaboration, Engagement and Productivity.
