Description
The United Nations intends to idnetify potential solution and solution provider to replace the current Swift Integration Layer (SIL) platform and therefore seeking information from the interested vendors. Background/ Description: Swift SIL Integration Layer has been implemented to handle xml (pain.001) files from an ERP. SIL calculates the required cash and splits the file to be sent to UN Banks. Currently SIL outputs pain.001 and MT103 file formats that are consumed by Swift Alliance Access for further processing. Further an automated reconciliation of bank statements takes place. MT940 statements are created and sent to the source ERP. MT103 is no longer supported after November 2025 and SIL is no longer supported by Swift due to sunset date mid 2026. Hence the UN is looking for a vendor to replace the current UN SIL Platform. This includes the replacement of of MT103 by PACS.008 to meet the November 2025 deadline set by Swift. The UN seeks to know the following information: Questions: A) Please provide references of the previous projects converting current SIL custom solutions using an Integration Layer Platform. B) Please provide details of the Integration Layer Platform that will be used to replace SIL. C) Please demonstrate how the existing investment in SIL will be leveraged. For example, demonstrate how to leverage the existing SIL custom code and processes developed for the United Nations. D) Can the proposed Integration Layer Platform interface to Swift message partner using SOAP connectivity? E) Is the proposed Integration Layer Platform ready for formatting of ISO 20022 messages (i.e. pacs.008 and camt.053 as output format)? F) Can the proposed Integration Layer Platform consume and create/re-format dedicated MT940? G) Can the proposed Integration Layer Platform interface data to a local SQL Server Database? H) Will the platform be supported for at least five years after implementation? I) Please confirm that the timeline of November 2025 for finalization of the project can be met provided the project starts latest beginning of July. Services and Pricing structure: • Please indicate the nature of your pricing model and as well as the metrics used to price your solution (e.g., flat fee, per module, per portfolio, per users, etc.). • Please describe your implemention approach and the pricing / rates for your implemention services. • Please describe your client support model and the pricing of related support services.
