This Request for Proposals (the “RFP”) is an invitation by the Government of Bermuda (the “Government”) to prospective proponents to submit proposals for ePayment Gateway as further described in Section A of the RFP Particulars (Appendix D) (the “Deliverables”).
The Government of Bermuda is seeking to develop a payment gateway to promote the efficiency, transparency, and quality of Government services by delivering an integrated framework that takes advantage of economies of scale. A payment gateway means a unified reporting solution and all payment data housed in a single repository across all departments. With integrated data and the removal of siloed systems, the Government will function more efficiently and serve citizens better.
We are seeking a payment gateway framework to accept on-line payments for government services offered on-line. The Government requires daily batch reporting in order to reconcile cashier activity and bank account(s). The software/framework shall integrate with the Government collection and accounting software programmes currently in use or from now on acquired. The payment solution shall be integrated successfully in a variety of operating environments and is technology-neutral, and works efficiently with a variety of hosting architectures, processors, financial accounting systems, and merchant service providers.
