Software firms in Sri Lanka are gearing to tie up with Indian tech giants to bid for the master systems integrator contract for the Sri Lanka Unique Digital Identity (SL-UDI) system, according to a Biometric Update report.

India’s National Institute for Smart Government, on June 27, issued a request for proposals for a Master Systems Integrator for the development, implementation and maintenance of the Sri Lanka Unique Digital ID project, Biometric Update has said.

At least five Sri Lankan software companies are in discussion with some Indian tech giants for the SL-UDI, industry officials said. While the master systems integrator stems from the project being funded through a grant from India, Sri Lankan companies will have a significant role as a separate managed service provider, they added.
