the aim to minimize the total cost of ownership. Procurement will be conducted in following four batches.  Procurement of Management consultants  Procurement of CBM-NET Phase 2 application  Procurement of renting racks in the container data center  Procurement of system infrastructure Among these four batches, procurement for the CBM-NET Phase 2 application should be conducted under the single source procurement method because of the highly specialized nature of the applications that only the application vendor of Phase 1 can satisfy following conditions.  The application vendor with understanding and experience of CBM-NET Phase 1 because of the following: ➢ Implementation of additional function in Phase 2 will require modification and adjustment of Phase 1 programs ➢ Limited time for implementation ➢ Current operating CBM-NET Phase 1 system must not be affected by mistakes during Phase 2 development  The application vendor with development experience of existing referable system (BOJ-NET of Japan) To achieve consistency and continuity, the management consultants for the detailed design and development supervision must be well acquainted with the background of this project. Against this background, the management consultants for detailed design and development supervision will be recommended by JICA to CBM. CBM will therefore be required to hire the consultants with particular experience in this project through the single source method. In addition, procurement for renting racks in the container data center should be conducted under the single source procurement method. This is due to the necessity of using current datacenter from the viewpoint of continuity and O&M capability of the system. 88
