Objectives

NEF anticipates the following development needs through September 2023, followed by a maintenance contract. NEF may choose to postpone some of the features. Estimated days of work are provided for reference only and may be adjusted during the final negotiation phase.

Platform features:

Develop Version 2.0 of the NEF-managed, cloud-based (AWS) online platform, Siraj Market. Version 1.0 of the platform currently delivers primarily business-to-business matchmaking opportunities among a closed group of supported micro/small/medium-enterprises. The services are delivered through a basic web-based version and limited-feature WhatsApp/Telegram-based version. Version 2.0 will have the following functionalities:

  • Upgrade the web-version and develop an open version of Siraj Market with the ability for public viewers to search, sort, filter, and contact participating businesses (registered users) through the platform as well as associated communication apps (e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram).
  • Ability to issue digitally certified validations (e.g., “Trusted Business” certification) for participating businesses (registered users).
  • Ability for basic platform functions to integrate with businesses’ social media pages such as Facebook, Instagram, and other relevant platforms.
  • Upgrade the e-matchmaking feature to be more holistic and comprehensive.
  • Develop a user-generated resources section that is available for registered users.
  • Ability for external businesses to register their interest as suppliers and join the network and be accessible by registered users.
  • Ability to link to payment solutions (e.g., e-wallets such as OrangeMoney in Jordan).
