As previously stated, CBSA is the second largest revenue
collector for the Government of Canada, next to the Canada
Revenue Agency (CRA). Due to obsolete and not-integrated
accounting systems, the CBSA has difficulty obtaining accurate,
timely, complete and reliable financial information to fulfill
its reporting responsibilities to key stakeholders. There
exists, accordingly, an overwhelming need for the CBSA to manage
and account for its revenues more efficiently and effectively,
as well to modernize its systems and processes to meet the
financial processing needs of its clients and stakeholders.
To fill this need, the CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management
(CARM) Project was put in place. It will modernize the systems
and processes that support the assessment and collection of
revenue from importers, and for reporting on revenue information
and trade data. The CARM Project initiative will support a
number of business improvements needed to address inefficiencies
with current systemsand processes and also meet key Government
of Canada (GoC) objectives for "red tape" reduction and
regulatory reform. The CBSA will be seeking a Supplier to
provide a solution to modernize the above-mentioned systems and
processes and support the required business improvements.  

The outcomes of this sourcing process is to establish that an
industry vendor can do the work requested and has a value
proposition consistent with the CARM project expectations.

This LOI/B is raised in order to provide and update on the CARM
project (see additional information attached hereto).

Note to Interested Suppliers, this is not a bid solicitation and
