As previously stated, CBSA is the second largest revenue collector for the Government of Canada, next to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Due to obsolete and not-integrated accounting systems, the CBSA has difficulty obtaining accurate, timely, complete and reliable financial information to fulfill its reporting responsibilities to key stakeholders. There exists, accordingly, an overwhelming need for the CBSA to manage and account for its revenues more efficiently and effectively, as well to modernize its systems and processes to meet the financial processing needs of its clients and stakeholders. To fill this need, the CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) Project was put in place. It will modernize the systems and processes that support the assessment and collection of revenue from importers, and for reporting on revenue information and trade data. The CARM Project initiative will support a number of business improvements needed to address inefficiencies with current systemsand processes and also meet key Government of Canada (GoC) objectives for "red tape" reduction and regulatory reform. The CBSA will be seeking a Supplier to provide a solution to modernize the above-mentioned systems and processes and support the required business improvements.

The outcomes of this sourcing process is to establish that an industry vendor can do the work requested and has a value proposition consistent with the CARM project expectations.

This LOI/B is raised in order to provide and update on the CARM project (see additional information attached hereto).
