Part C: Technical Specifications (Request for Proposal for developing and installation of DYNAMIC ONLINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR NCS-TCP) Background of NCS-TCP: National Certification System for Tissue Culture Raised Plants (NCS-TCP) has been established by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Govt. of India as per the Gazette of India Notification under the Seeds Act 1966. The major objective of NCS-TCP is to facilitate production and distribution quality planting materials. To achieve the above objectives, tissue culture companies are recognized under system on the basis of infrastructure and implementation of quality management system. Apart from recognition of tissue culture companies, test laboratories have also accredited under system. After Recognition, tissue culture companies become eligible to get their tissue culture raised plants tested and certified by these Accredited Test Laboratories (ATLs). Organization structure of NCS-TCP is at figure 1. Two Referral Centers have also been identified for testing of disputed samples, training etc. The comprehensive online portal will be developed by incorporating various steps of application processing for recognition and renewal as well as testing & certification of plants. Biotech Consortium India Limited (BCIL) has been identified by DBT as the Management Cell for National Certification System for Tissue Culture Raised Plants (NCS-TCP). NCS-TCP Management Cell at BCIL is seeking service of a web developer to create a web portal that provides following: Processing of applications received from companies for Recognition and Renewal of Recognition Testing and Certification of tissue culture raised plants by ATLs Referral Activities covering conformity testing in the event of dispute, distribution of diagnostic kits, validation, technical audit and training Coordination of meeting and information management Database Management and instant report generation Management of fund utilization and disbursement Objective of Dynamic Web Portal: The broad objectives of web portal are to make various steps of application user-friendly, interactive, minimize paper work, speedy processing, maintaining centralized information/records and transparent operation. The portal will facilitate effective monitoring, maintaining of records for applicants. 1 Fig. 1: Structure of NCS-TCP Certification Agency for Tissue Culture Raised Plants (DBT) Appellate Authority (DBT) Apex Committee Project Monitoring & Evaluation Committee (PMEC) Monitoring Coordination & Monitoring Reporting / Approval NCS-TCP Management Cell (NMC) Coordination & Monitoring Recognition/ Renewal Grievance redressal Referral Centers (RCs) Accredited Test Laboratories (ATLs) Recognized Tissue Culture Production Facilities Samples for testing Supply of virus-free and genetically uniform TC plants to growers 2 Test reports and/or quality certification Broadly the proposed application will have four modules, which are proposed to be developed at four stages.
