    This bid solicitation is being issued to satisfy the requirement of the Department of Indigenous Affairs and Northern Development to conduct an assessment on the Department’s Education Information System using the Solutions-Based Informatics Professional Services (SBIPS) Supply Arrangement (SA) method of supply.

    The assessment of the Department’s Education System (EIS) should be a holistic review of three following aspects:

    • Functional Completeness, Flexibility to cater to future business needs
    • Technology Stability, Scalability, Maintainability
    • System Effectiveness, Ease of use, uptake/ adoption, etc.

    Specific questions may be used to guide the analysis but the assessment is not to be limited by such.

    Functional:

    • Is EIS meeting the business needs of DIAND, First Nations and all other stakeholders today?
    • What is the adoption rate and what approaches can be taken to increase the adoption, from technology, system, business requirement/process perspectives?
    • What modifications / upgrades are required in order for EIS to meet the current & future business needs, including business process changes.

    Technical:

    • Is the system scalable/reliable to meet the future business needs?
    • How can the architecture be simplified to better serve its users?
    • Are there technical barriers that are preventing the users from using the system more extensively and more easily?

    Commercial (Options that may be more economically viable):

    • Given the government wide back-office consolidation initiative and the future business direction and needs ofDIAND – are there other commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions / offerings that may be available in the market etc?
    • Considering the sunk cost, should further investments be made in EIS or, would it still be cost-effective to enhance/upgrade EIS and continue maintaining it?

    The Department intends to award one (1) contract for the period of Upon contract award to March 31, 2017 plus one (1) additional irrevocable option allowing Canada to extend the term of the contract.
