3 SECTION A TECHNICAL INFORMATION 1 INTRODUCTION The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is one of the leading scientific research and technology development organisations in Africa. In partnership with national and international research and technology institutions, CSIR undertakes directed and multidisciplinary research and technology innovation that contributes to the improvement of the quality of life of South Africans. The CSIR s main site is in Pretoria while it is represented in other provinces of South Africa through regional offices. 2 BACKGROUND The Department of Science and Technology (DST) has requested the CSIR, through its Meraka operating unit, to facilitate the provision of technical advisory and support services in respect of the development and pilot testing of the Innovation Bridge (IB) portal. Two phases of the IB Portal have already been developed using Drupal and the current main features include: A dynamic content management platform with support for distributed content creation, editing and publishing workflows of information related to technology development and transfer including: o Organisations and individuals o Available technologies o Funding opportunities o Providers of specialist services o Relevant events General information Automated matchmaking between relevant entries in the portal Basic and advanced search facilities on all information in the portal Ability to send electronic alerts based on predefined filters and publish to selected social media platforms Collaboration spaces for communities of practice Support for periodic surveys Reporting and dashboard facilities on usage and information stored in the portal Role based user access Search engine optimisation (SEO) CSIR RFP No 3210/06/07/2018 Page 3 of 20

4 A third phase of development is proposed, which requires mostly website feature development as well as mobile application development. It is envisaged that this will be outsourced to a suitable organisation with the relevant web and mobile development expertise. The development and testing process will be guided by the Meraka technical team, on behalf of the CSIR as mandated by the DST to implement the IB Portal development project. 2.1 Project Goal The Innovation Bridge Portal (IBP) is intended to complement and promote the IB showcase event. The IB technology showcase and matchmaking event was first held in February Once fully operational, it is envisaged to provide a comprehensive technology development and commercialisation public information repository as well as to enable ongoing online showcasing and matchmaking services. In particular, the vision is that the IB Portal will, among other things: Profile and market South African (SA) technology innovation competencies and products, both nationally and internationally. This will include information support in the form of relevant information, tools, services, articles, new innovation happenings and other resources relevant to Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) researchers and industry sectors in SA Facilitate access to funding and support for researchers and technology developers, (particularly at publicly funded R&D institutions), and technology entrepreneurs working in the STI space. This will include information about innovation financing options, application and, as far as practical, due diligence processes, in order to empower innovators to successfully navigate the application procedures at all relevant innovation financing organisations in SA. The Portal will, therefore, contain detailed information and access (e.g. via hyperlinks Portal of Portals) to a comprehensive database of sector relevant financiers Match researchers, technology developers and entrepreneurs with relevant financiers. This entails the provision of an intellectual property (IP) market place that matches solutions with problems, as well as highlights problems that are seeking solutions. This latter aspect may require enabling industry and other partners to post challenges they wish to solve, and where applicable, recommend technology solutions to these challenges; effective linkages with existing portals in SA in this regard must, however, be fully explored in order to avoid any unnecessary duplication of effort and resources. CSIR RFP No 3210/06/07/2018 Page 4 of 20

5 The IB Portal is therefore a public collaborative innovation portal with the main aim of creating linkages between government, academia and industry for technology development and commercialisation. 3 INVITATION FOR PROPOSAL Proposals are hereby invited for the supply of web and mobile development services ((at least one mobile developer and one Drupal developer, based at the CSIR for a duration of 6 months) to the CSIR for the development of the third phase of the IB Portal as detailed in section 4 below.
