Could be of interest to any of you. (For the French readers: this message is in English in order to broaden the audience, but the RFP is in French) The Cocof (Commission Communautaire française, see http://www.cocof.be) has just released a public request for proposal (RFP) for which the proposals must be entered by January 29, 2002 and for which there will be a public answer to questions on January 22, 2002 in Brussels. The offer is supposed to fit a national advertising only that has taken place, which amounts to roughly maximum 200.000 EUR. The request concerns the analysis, conceptual and functional, as well as the developpement of a human resources management system, essentially a databased based system with some specific functionnalities (like simulations). Initially, it is not supposed to be a full HRM system, but eventually this could lead or interface to such a system. It is requested that the system to be developped be free software. If it could use any free software resources already in existence related to HRM, that would save a lot of energy. Any suggestion/idea would be most welcome. The RFP (in French only, sorry) is available by Mrs Sylvie Risopoulos that can be joined at srisopoulos@cocof.be or by phone at +32.(0)800.80.00 More info could also be obtained wth me.
