Service provider to develop the 2019 Labour Code website

The adoption of the revised Labour Code in November 2019 was a milestone for Viet Nam in improving its legal framework towards better alignment with the ILO’s fundamental principles and rights at work. The code is expected to substantially improve Viet Nam’s employment and industrial relations and thereby facilitate greater participation in the country’s economic growth. The new Labour Code will take effect from 1 January 2021.

To make the code operational and meaningful, it is crucial to help workers and employers understand their new rights and responsibilities. Against this context, the ILO supports the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) to develop a web-based portal on the 2019 Labour Code to serve as a one-stop-shop for information seekers.

The ILO in Viet Nam is inviting proposals from reputable and qualified companies with a track record of success in designing and producing digital solutions for this assignment. Please find attached the Terms of Reference and Annex 1.
