1) Purpose
The purpose of this notice is to update industry on the status of the MPMCT Project.
The Department of National Defence (DND) has a requirement for a modern, flexible and integrated Military Personnel Management (MPM) capability, encompassing Human Resources (HR) and Payroll for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). This requirement flows from the Canada First Defence Strategy.
The MPMCT Project has been established to manage the development and delivery of a new MPM capability which involves developing a modern regulatory and policy framework, transforming MPM business processes and upgrading and acquiring modern, integrated Information Management and Information Technology (IM/IT) enablers based on the Commercial Off-The-Shelf Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, Oracle PeopleSoft. The new MPM capability is to be called "Guardian".
The MPMCT Project Scope is defined as the implementation and integration of Guardian, which includes:
a. Transforming DND/CAF business that supports the delivery of HR and payroll services, including: policy transformation; business process re-engineering and training;
b Configuring, implementing and integrating Oracle PeopleSoft that will replace legacy CAF HR and payroll applications;
c. Modernizing the supporting Information Technology (IT) infrastructure (in conjunction with Shared Services Canada (SSC));
d. Migrating data from legacy applications into Guardian.
e. Developing and integrating interfaces between Guardian and other DND applications/systems, as well as other Canadian Government Departments and external partners that require CAF HR and payroll information; and
f. Transitioning Guardian into an in-service state.
As such, Canada will require System Integration services for, but not limited to, the following:
a. Supporting the activities of the Project Management Office (PMO) by identifying the gaps between the MPMCT business requirements and the GUARDIAN Release 1 solution capabilities;
b. Proposing, configuring, implementing and integrating additional components / tools to meet the MPMCT project requirements that have not been satisfied as part of the initial upgrade to GUARDIAN Release 1;
c. Participating as an active member of the Integrated Project Team working hand-in-hand with DND/CAF business, project management and technical resources; and
d. Providing expert technical resources as and when required to augment DND's in-service support team for a period of 2 to 6 years.
On June 17, 2014 MPMCT received Treasury Board (TB) approval for its current program of work comprised of Cycle 2 Implementation (i.e. the implementation of Guardian Release 1) and Cycle 3 Definition (i.e. the planning, design and costing of subsequent Releases of Guardian). This approval was given with the condition that a Business Case be developed that compares the option of having PWGSC act as the delivery agent for military pay component of MPMCT with the option of proceeding with a private sector delivery agent.
To determine the feasibility of the first option, Canada, supported by an independent contractor, conducted a study that compared Phoenix (the Government of Canada new payroll solution) with the requirements for Military Pay.
On June 18, 2015 TB accepted the joint DND/PWGSC Business Case that recommended PWGSC act as the delivery agent for the military pay component of MPMCT. As follow-on to this decision, Canada is proceeding to have PWGSC complete the definition work for military pay. In order to progress with this work, DND and PWGSC intend to conduct joint workshops with the PWGSC Pay Modernization contractor in order to complete a number of Pay Modernization military pay definition deliverables. A complete list of these deliverables has been compiled by DND and PWGSC.
The MPMCT SI Contracting Authority intends to make relevant Pay Modernization workshop materials (e.g. power point presentations, documentation outlining key decisions and results) available to industry throughout the workshop process once such documentation has been completed. In addition, all relevant resulting Pay Modernization definition phase deliverables will be made available to members of industry once the documentation has been completed.
Any interested potential bidders for the contemplated MPMCT Systems Integrator requirement who would like to obtain a copy of the list of Pay Modernization military pay definition phase deliverables to be produced for Military Pay under Phoenix, or the documentation described above as it becomes available, should contact the MPMCT SI Contracting Authority by email. Only suppliers who sign a confidentiality agreement and hold the necessary security clearances will be permitted access to these documents.
Canada contemplates publishing a subsequent NPP to inform industry of the approach to procure a Systems Integrator to support MPMCT. Industry is reminded that the MPMCT requirements and the associated procurement approach continue to be under development and therefore are subject to change at Canada's sole discretion.
Canada reserves the sole right to alter its procurement approach for any associated MPMCT requirement.
