This is not a bid solicitation and a contract will not result. Potential respondents are advised that any information submitted to the government in response to this Request for Information may be used by the government in the development of a subsequent Request for Proposal (RFP).

It should also be noted that no agreement to do business with any respondent will result from this specific enquiry. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) enquiry is as follows:

To assess the feasibility of creating a robust and defensible simulation model of either type (agent-based or population-based), using the level of data currently available on tobacco and vaping product use in Canada To establish a timeline required to develop the model(s); To determine the estimated cost (as a range) to develop the model(s); To assess the feasibility of a single contractor completing BOTH modeling streams (agent-based and population-based).
