PR26-028: One (1) Lot Supply, Delivery, Development, Installation, Configuration, Testing, and Implementation of a Blockchain Investigation Platform (Cryptocurrency Forensics And Investigation Tool)

The Anti‑Money Laundering Council of the Republic of the Philippines is procuring a single lot that encompasses the procurement, delivery, development, installation, configuration, testing and full implementation of an enterprise‑grade blockchain investigation platform. The platform, a cryptocurrency forensics and investigation tool, must provide the council with advanced capabilities for tracing digital assets, attributing wallet ownership, conducting graph analytics, screening for sanctions, and delivering comprehensive case support for financial intelligence operations. Alongside the hardware and software delivery, the contract obliges the supplier to provide a one‑year software subscription, with the subscription period commencing upon successful go‑live and acceptance by the end‑user.

The procurement will be carried out through a two‑stage competitive dialogue, wherein eligible bidders submit initial technical proposals to demonstrate their capability and understanding of the AMLC’s operational needs. Subsequent stages involve structured dialogue to refine performance requirements, implementation methodology, cybersecurity and interoperability specifications, licensing arrangements, and deployment options, culminating in final technical and financial proposals evaluated for the most economically advantageous offer. The solution shall comply with AMLC‑defined cybersecurity, interoperability, and licensing standards as finalized in the Technical Specifications.
