Abstract
The growth and development of information and technologies
(ICT's) has led to their wide diffusion and application, thus increasing their
economic and social impact. The internet undertakes a wide range of activities
aimed at improving our understanding of how ICTs contribute to sustainable
economic growth and social well being and their role in the shift toward
knowledge based societies.
Trust among the users of ICT networks is increasing priority
for business, industry and governments. Information and Communication and
Technologies (ICTs) can help meet development objectives, in particular
international development goals for poverty reduction, education, health and
environment.
This research is conceived with the aim of providing an
adequate solution that will help citizens to get information about the tenders
available in the Districts, the details about those tenders and have the
possibility to apply for any tender. The DITMIS uses the advantages of
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as mentioned above.
The objective of this study is to provide a web based
application able to assist anyone to get information about the tenders
available in the Districts, able to read the announcement for an tender and
have the opportunity for the application. The web based application to develop
will have a web interface where applicants can read the announcement for
tender, the details about the tenders and make the application via internet.
To achieve the fixed objectives, we have used the waterfall
model as a software development process model to develop the web based
application. Interviews and documentation also are used as the major data
collection techniques.
By the end of this document, interfaces for users are designed
with PHP, and listed in the interfaces
Glossary subsection. Finally, conclusion and recommendations are
made to facilitate the usage and further improvement of this application.
