Bulgaria – Statistical software development services – Разработка и внедряване на информационна система за интегрирана земеделска статистика (ИСИЗС)

Development and implementation of an integrated agricultural statistics information system (ISIS). The main activities that form the scope of the project are:

Activity 1: Development and implementation of a software application for an information system for collecting, validating, processing and disseminating statistical information. It is expected that a software product will be developed, through which individual data from agricultural holdings will be collected, validated and processed. The software must contain a module for developing subsystems, a GIS module, an e-survey module, a module for validations and validation reports, a data processing module, a module for queries, a module for granting user rights, a registry module, a nomenclature module and a public website. Integration with other information systems and with the statistical register of agricultural holdings (subject of the present procurement) is expected. In the 2026 study, it is expected that data will be collected for approximately 40,000 agricultural holdings, with the system expected to be used by up to 350 users at the same time. During censuses, it is expected that data will be collected for approximately 120,000 agricultural holdings;

Activity 2: Development of a statistical register of agricultural holdings. It is expected that a statistical register of agricultural holdings (SRZS) will be developed, which must maintain individual information about agricultural holdings and ensure the management of the data lifecycle for holdings. SRZS must contain data for the identification of holdings, data on activity, data on agricultural activity, on crop production and on livestock farming. SRZS must be integrated with the software application of the information system, through which statistical information will be collected, validated and processed. SRZS must be integrated with the GIS part of the system;

Activity 3: Data migration. It is expected that the Contractor will migrate data from the existing databases of the current agricultural statistics information system (ISAS). It is mandatory to migrate data from the census of agricultural holdings in the Republic of Bulgaria in 2020 and for the integrated statistics of agricultural holdings (IFS) from 2023 and the data collected for IFS2026. Data must be migrated from the existing statistical register of agricultural holdings. The data to be migrated is stored in SQL databases;

Activity 4: Conducting training and developing supporting information materials for working with the system:

- User group 1 – administrators – 4 people;

- User group 2 – MZH experts – 15 people;

- User group 3 – ODS experts – 70 people.

Training should be organised in groups of up to 20 people.

Activity 5: Guarantee support.
