Capture of National Harvest Survey Data FY 21/22 – 25/26

The Contractor must capture the data from the Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit stubs, Harvest Questionnaire Survey forms and the Species Composition Survey wing envelopes according to the detailed specifications provided for each of the three data types. In total, up to 120,000 Permit forms, up to 8,000 Harvest Questionnaire Survey forms and up to 18,000 Species Composition Survey records (approximately ~14,700,000 keystrokes) are involved to complete the contract on an annual basis. Actual numbers will depend on the numbers of hunters purchasing permits and the number of questionnaires returned. The contractor must verify that no duplicate records are submitted. The information to be captured is considered Protected A, and will come in a mixture of both official languages. The Contractor must attest that the data entry operators are fluently (French – English) bilingual and have appropriate security clearance (i.e., Reliability). A 99.5% accuracy in data capturing is required. The proposed contract is from 1 April 2021 to 30 June 2022, with the option to extend for three (3) additional one (1) year periods.
