The Government of Vietnam has introduced Decree No. 111/2024/ND-CP, establishing a comprehensive system of information and a National database on construction activities. This decree, which takes effect on November 1, 2024, sets out key principles and requirements for the development, management, and use of this centralized construction information system.
Centralized Management
The decree emphasizes that the system of information and the National database on construction activities will be built and managed in a centralized manner, with coordination from the central to local levels. This ensures consistency in how construction-related data is collected, processed, and shared across the country.
The focus on a centrally controlled system allows for improved efficiency in state management, as well as streamlined access to critical information for relevant stakeholders involved in construction investment and oversight.
Accurate and Timely Updates
A key objective of the database is to provide complete, accurate, and timely information on construction activities. By ensuring regular updates, the database supports state management functions, particularly in construction investment. It offers a reliable source of information for both governmental agencies and private sector participants involved in construction projects.
Continuous and Stable Operation
The decree mandates that the system and database operate continuously and stably, providing a long-term solution for the storage and retrieval of construction-related data. The database is designed to meet the needs of various users, including agencies, organizations, and individuals, under legal regulations.
This continuous operation is crucial for fostering a smooth flow of information, ensuring that construction activities across the country can be monitored and assessed without disruption.
Compliance with IT and Data Protection Laws
The management and operation of the information system and database must align with existing laws on information technology, e-transactions, cyberinformation security, and access to information. Additionally, regulations regarding the management, connection, and sharing of digital data between state agencies must be strictly adhered to, ensuring the protection and security of sensitive information.
This alignment with broader IT and data protection laws ensures that the system operates within a framework of legal compliance, providing trust and reliability for users.
Components of the Information System on Construction Activities
The decree also outlines the key components of the information system, which include:
- Database on Construction Activities: This database includes all relevant information and data on construction activities, extracted from the national database and other data sources related to the construction sector.
- Information Technology Infrastructure: This covers the necessary hardware and infrastructure that support the smooth operation and accessibility of the construction database.
- System of Application Software: The system includes software, software services, and a cloud computing platform to facilitate the management, operation, and use of construction-related data. These technological solutions ensure that the data is easily accessible and usable by relevant parties.
Implications for Construction Sector Stakeholders
For organizations involved in construction activities, Decree No. 111/2024/ND-CP introduces a crucial change in how construction data will be managed and accessed. The centralized nature of the database will improve efficiency, while compliance with IT and data protection laws will provide reassurance regarding the protection of sensitive construction-related information.
The issuance of Decree No. 111/2024/ND-CP represents a significant step towards modernizing Vietnam’s construction sector by introducing a centralized, secure, and efficient system for managing construction-related data. This move not only supports state management but also enhances transparency and efficiency for all stakeholders in the construction industry.
