The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has awarded to Unisys the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Project to design, develop and operate Phase 2 of its Civil Registry System Information Technology Project (CRS-ITP2) aimed at enhancing accessibility and increasing speed of service for citizens requesting official documents such as birth certificates.
The project’s transformation program includes modernizing the network infrastructure and application system using Unisys digital government expertise. The public private partnership also provided a nine-story CRS building to house a brand new customer service facility and data center, centralizing the back office infrastructure. Unisys has engaged First Balfour to design and construct the new CRS building. It is First Balfour’s first involvement in a PPP project.
The CRS Building is First Balfour’s first foray into a specialized building project with a complete construction works package. It is located within the PSA complex along East Avenue in Quezon City and has nine floors including ground level parking. The scope of work covers civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, sanitary and plumbing, and fire protection including fit-out works and supply of furniture and fixtures.
