Looking for an experienced software agency to build GovVerify.

Fake letters, notices and certificates circulate widely in Malawi, and people have no quick way to tell what is real. GovVerify is a national platform that lets government ministries put a QR code and a short code on their official documents, so anyone can confirm in seconds whether a document is genuine. The public checks by website, WhatsApp or a phone dial code (USSD), with no account or app needed. What you will build Phase 1, pilot Separate workspaces for each ministry, so no ministry can see another’s information User roles (preparer, approver, ministry admin, central admin) with a second-approver rule Document upload (PDF) with a QR code and short code stamped on it, with a position preview A secure record of every issued document, without publishing the document itself A public verification page with clear results: verified, cancelled, replaced, confirmed fake, not registered A title-match check that catches a real QR code copied onto a fake document, and alerts the ministry Cancel, replace and flag-as-fake actions, a permanent audit log, and dashboards for ministries and the central admin Government branding and a mobile-friendly design in English, ready for Chichewa A verification service for WhatsApp and USSD channels Phase 2 Links to issuing bodies’ own records (for example exam certificates and land titles) AI-assisted forgery checks that flag edited documents for human review Bulk registration of certificates and secure checks for banks, employers and institutions What we are looking for Essential Proven experience building secure web platforms, ideally multi-tenant Strong security practice: two-factor login, role-based access, audit trails, data protection Experience with PDF processing and QR code generation Experience integrating WhatsApp Business and USSD gateways, ideally in Africa Nice to have Experience on government or financial-sector projects Document comparison, text recognition or machine-learning experience Your technical approach and how you would deliver the pilot How you would handle security, hosting and ongoing support Your price and payment terms.
