1. The Ministry of Education and Research has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Moldova Higher Education Project, and intends to apply part of the proceeds toward payments under the contract for Design, Supply and Installation of e-Admission Information System.
2. The Ministry of Education and Research now invites sealed Bids from eligible Bidders for Design, Supply and Installation of e-Admission Information System (IS). The e-Admission IS will act as a national system which will facilitate the admission process for all actors involved in admission to first and second cycle of university studies to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
The use of a single electronic interface for the submission of the applications by the applicant (candidate) will standardize and simplify the admission process, and the conduct of the admission competition through a unified system will reduce the administrative burden and costs of HEIs. Also, MoER will have a customized solution, which will consider the level of technical maturity of HEIs and streamline their efforts in the admission process.
The e-Admission IS will manage the registration of applicants and the entire flow of the competition for admission, including electronic files for participation in the competition. The system will significantly increase the efficiency and speed of document processing and reduce the storage of paper files, time used ineffectively by the applicants and the members of the specialized Committees. The system will become part of the educational ecosystem of the MoER and will be interconnected with other sectoral systems and government platforms.
