Acquisition of a Data Consolidation Tool - Global Metrics Accross Various Transportation Fields
Transport Canada's Economic Analysis directorate (ACA) conducts analysis and research in order to understand and explain trends and the evolution of the different elements of the Canadian Transportation system. The economic analyses support policymaking, program development and decision-making. The scope of analysis is all modes of transportation and all facets of socio-economic aspects of transportation services allowing the Department to understand the changes in the supply and demand of transportation services in Canada. To better monitor the changes in supply and demand affecting the transportation industry, ACA requires access to a reliable data provider that can consolidate global metrics across various fields affecting transportation in an efficient and timely manner. With this, it hopes to proactively monitor the Canadian transportation system and supply chain by monitoring the global trends and changes of commodities/ stakeholders that rely on it. In addition, the efficiency gained from having a consolidated, updated source of data will reduce research and maintenance efforts and benefit internal analyses and applications. The solicitation is intended to result in the award of 1 (one) contract for 1 (one) year, and up to 4 (four) irrevocable one-year options allowing Canada to extend the term of the Contract.
This requirement is subject to the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT).
