    Description of the requirement:

    The purpose of this contract is to provide research and business analysis services to support an assessment of the Build in Canada Innovation Program (BCIP), provide recommendations intended to improve the Innovation Matching component of the program, and support the implementation of any recommendations consequently accepted by BCIP management.

    The BCIP is currently in a transitional period where increases in operational efficiency, matchmaking capacities and tools, strategic communications, outreach activities, program size, and scope are being explored and potentially implemented. While recent changes to the program address specific recommendations to expedite delivery of innovations by Canadian companies, they did not address suggestions from industry to expand the BCIP to increase the potential benefits of the program to the innovation sector across Canada.

    In consulting with a number of key stakeholders, the assessment is to consider, but is not limited to, the following key lines of inquiry:

    1. Barriers experienced by small and medium-sized business when participating in the BCIP;
    2. Innovation program design and delivery (including analysis of push/pull models and other similar programs, both domestic and international);
    3. Ongoing Innovation Matchmaking and Management strategies, processes, and tools;
    4. Role and function of the BCIP in Canada’s innovation sector;
    5. Considerations and potential integrations due to any changes to the government’s innovation agenda; and
    6. Possible governance improvements for the BCIP.

    This project will consist of a wide breadth of research and consultation in order to provide a basis for analysis by the Contractor and BCIP program officials. The results of this work will be provided to the BCIP regularly and used by the Contractor to present an analysis. Proposed recommendations based on this analysis will be provided to the Project Authority at the end of the project.

    Proposed period of contract:

    The proposed initial period of contract shall be from contract award to end after a twelve (12) month period (2017) for an estimated 240 days.

    Inquiries regarding this RFP are to be submitted to the Contracting Authority listed below.
