REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON AVAILABLE GOVERNANCE, RISK MANAGEMENT, AND COMPLIANCE (GRC) SOLUTIONS FOR THE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES MEDICAL SCHEME  

This Request for Information (RFI) invites responses from the market on system solutions available regarding Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) solutions that would enable GEMS’ processes through technology.  

GEMS invites submissions for such existing specialised solutions in risk management, compliance, forensic investigation, and internal audit management.  The full suite of services does not need to be contained in one solution, but ultimate seamless integration between the solution components, irrespective of whether it is provided by one or more providers, will be desirable to increase efficiencies.  GEMS wishes to understand the solutions available in the market and how they can benefit GEMS to achieve its stated objectives.

An RFI document is available on request to provide more detail on the GEMS requirement.
