Acquisitions Program E-Procurement Solution

Trade Agreement: WTO-AGP/NAFTA/AIT/Canada FTAs with Peru/Colombia/Panama Tendering Procedures: Attachment: None Competitive Procurement Strategy: N/A - P&A/LOI Only Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: Yes Nature of Requirements: PWGSC's Acquisitions Program (AP) has a requirement, on behalf of the Government of Canada (GC), for a bilingual, commercially available solution that can be minimally configured to meet the AP's need to deliver Acquisitions Services and address the challenges described in Annex A - Problem Statement and High Level Solution Requirements. Canada is seeking information on current marketplace capabilities and interest to work collaboratively with AP to provide this transformative technology to meet current and future business requirements, to implement new technologies to modernize the solutions supporting GC procurement and to ensure the successful transition from existing to new business solutions for the provision of Acquisitions Services. For greater clarity, the AP is not seeking to replicate its existing technologies nor business processes, but rather, is looking for a market leader with existing technical capability and knowledge of the procurement function to support the modernization of current and future business operations. This LOI is to initiate engagement with industry and seek interest from potential suppliers in participating in an information session (Industry Day) and subsequent one-on-one industry meetings. The content of this LOI is intended to provide industry with initial context and details pertaining to PWGSC's requirement. For the purposes of this LOI, the target audience is potential suppliers of the solution. PWGSC intends to engage with industry at large - potential users of the solution - separately at a future date. Registration Process for Industry Day & One-on-One meetings
