Write some Software

A non-profit organisation is looking at building a windows based data driven analysis solution for the Department of Education. Data-driven, decision-making is the process of gathering learner data – academic performance, attendance, demographic, and other information – which aids districts, principals, teachers, and parents in accurately assessing learner learning. The application will allow users to analyze disaggregated learner data to determine school improvement / professional development goals The software will be deployed in ALL the schools of the country and MUST work on user’s windows desktops. The teachers will be required to capture the data for their respective classes and it should have an option to export the data and import into an aggregated version of the application at the provincial, district and national levels. The application should NOT require internet to deploy or operate and must provide an optimal method of transferring data to the aggregated instances. The application could be delivered to the schools on CD. There is a requirement to capture exam questions, students demographical details, their detailed marks and maintain history over a period of atleast 5 years. The data analysis will be provided by means of graphs and charts, with the ability for the user to include and track action plans. Note that this is a FIX PRICE project with the funding being provided by sponsorship. A detailed specification is available for you to look at the scope. However, there is potential for small tweaks and adjustments when the draft version is provided for a demo to the client and again when it is shown to the government. Please provide a quote keeping in mind that there is an expectation of up to 4 iterations of changes requested, as the agreed funding cannot be increased. There is definite potential for future business for maintenance and training once it is rolled out but no concrete commitment can be made at this stage until the project is delivered to the government. An abridged version of the specifications is attached and a detailed one will be provided to the shortlisted parties.
