Description
Cyber Security Program
This is a Request for Information (RFI) pertaining to the creation of a strategic source methodology of pre-qualified CITS-focused Cyber Security vendors and technologies to support the Cyber Security Program.
The objective of this Request for Information (RFI) is to obtain industry feedback in order to assist SSC in the creation of a strategic source methodology of pre-qualified CITS-focused Cyber Security vendors and technologies to support the Cyber Security Program. It is envisioned that the proposed strategic source methodology will encompass some or all of the following factors:
- facilitate an agile, flexible and repeatable procurement process to improve time to market with procurements;
- develop strategic partnerships with CITS-focused solution integrators;
- facilitate a formal process for the solicitation and/or proposal of proofs of concepts for innovative technology investigation;
- innovate by partnering with solution integrators and technology vendors who can stay close to the “bleeding edge” of technology;
- allow for strategic alignment to the CITS’s Reference Architecture and Technical Roadmap by continuous adjustment of technology and solutions as well as creation of a common Iconography and Nomenclature;
- Formal Proof of Concepts (POC) and Lab Integration for new technologies/solutions as well as partnerships and interfaces; and
- Facilitate achieving the GC Chief Information Officer’s objective of agile procurement and development.
This procurement is subject to the National Security Exception and is, therefore, excluded from all of the obligations of the trade agreements.
In 2016, SSC adopted a new system called Procure-to-Pay (P2P) to electronically manage procurement to payment processes. P2P integrates accounts payable and procurement processes, allows for automated work routing and email notifications, provides end-to-end electronic approvals and enables SSC to move towards paperless processing.
SSC’s suppliers will be required to interface with the SSC P2P portal for this industry engagement phase.
Suppliers can register in the SSC P2P portal in order to:
- view and access solicitations from SSC;
- submit a bid to a solicitation;
- receive updates and amendments regarding solicitations;
- be awarded contracts and receive contract amendments;
- receive electronic Purchase Orders; and
- submit invoices and receive payment status updates.
To register, please go to https://sscp2pspc.ssc-spc.gc.ca and click “Register Now”.
If you have any questions regarding registering for P2P, please email: lindsay.pare@canada.ca
