2Justification
The Authority runs 68 e-services for contractors through five separate channels and legacy systems that do not talk to each other; a contractor deals with several departments and service centres for a single request, and issuing or renewing a membership takes 21 days on average. Release 4 of the Muqawil platform brings them into one digital journey that meets Digital Government Authority standards.
3Objectives
- Bring 68 contractor e-services into Muqawil with a single journey
- Cut the average time to issue or renew a membership from 21 days to 5
- Lift contractor satisfaction with digital services to 88%
- Reduce cost per transaction by 60%
Strategic objectives served
- SO-1.1 — Simplify regulatory relationships and make doing business easier
- SO-1.2 — Raise quality standards across contracting
- SO-2.3 — Transparency and open sector information
