1. Purpose

The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to seek information from Industry on approaches to
address current and evolving challenges presented by the changing media monitoring environment, to help Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) with the development of the next request for
supply arrangement which will combine the three supply arrangements (traditional media monitoring, social media monitoring and media analysis) into one supply arrangement with six streams.

2. Nature of Request for Information

This is a RFI and not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the award of any contract or supply arrangement. The issuance of this RFI is not to be considered in any way a commitment by the
Government of Canada (GC), nor as authority to potential respondents to undertake any work that could be charged to Canada. Suppliers of any services described in this RFI should not reserve stock or
facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI. Participation in this RFI is encouraged, but is not mandatory. There will be no short-listing of potential
suppliers for the purposes of undertaking any future work as a result of this RFI. Similarly, participation in this RFI is not a condition or prerequisite for the participation in any potential subsequent solicitation.

The procurement of any of the services described in this RFI will not necessarily follow this RFI. This RFI is simply intended to solicit feedback from Industry with respect to the matters described in this RFI.
