The Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (the Authority), represented by the British Embassy in Mexico City, seeks to appoint one Service Supplier to provide technical support to the Executive Secretariat of the National Anti-Corruption System (SESNA) for the development of the Whistle-blower System (S5). The supplier will work on the conceptualization and development of the form (first phase) that will be required to file a complaint for administrative offenses and acts of corruption. The system should simplify the presentation, processing and follow-up by the complainants, and generate relevant information for the National Anticorruption System.

The work will be undertaken under the supervision of the Anti-Corruption, Digitalisation and Competition Policy Unit at the British Embassy in Mexico City, and the SESNA technical team, through regular planning and review meetings with the delivery partner to ensure that the work plans align with the Programme's vision and objectives, and review progress against these. The meetings may be remote or face-to-face, on a case by case scheme

Active knowledge transfer is a deliverable to occur between the technical specialist and the Executive Secretariat of the National Anti-Corruption System (SESNA).

The primary beneficiary of this project will be SESNA, as well as all the users of the PDN, which include citizens and civil servants.
