Emergency Mass Notification Software Solution (EMNSS)

Emergency Mass Notification Software Solution

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has approximately 47000 employees in 99　buildings across the country and as such there is a requirement to effectively communicate with employees before, during and after an emergency event. The Security and Internal Affairs Directorate, Finance and Administration Branch has identified the need to acquire an Emergency Mass Notification Software Solution (EMNSS) that will allow for a more efficient and consistent method of communicating with CRA employees before, during and after an emergency event.

The CRA has a requirement for the supply of an EMNSS that will deliver, allow and support the broadcast notifications of threats or emergency events. The EMNSS provided by the Contractor must be able to send out mass notifications to all CRA employees. The EMNSS will be used within CRA as a notification instrument for their own employees and students.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) intends to enter into a contract with a single contractor for the supply and delivery of a Emergency Mass Notification Software Solution and associated training.

This requirement also includes options to purchase additional training on an as-and-when-requested basis.

The period of any resulting contract will be for 3 years with CRA retaining the irrevocable option to extend for up to 7 additional one-year periods.
