Description of requirement	

The Chief Information Officer Branch (CIO Branch) of Public

goods and services including IT professional services. The
Branch procurement activities range in degree of difficulty

The Branch has been facing challenges with business management
services including the processing of procurements in support of
the operation of the Branch. The situation is a result of

renew an existing arrangement for the supply of IT professional
services to support the web and mainframe applications.
The scope of this requirement is to provide information
technology (IT) professional services and related deliverables
to CIO Branch technical managers and their staff involved in the
development, support and maintenance of software applications on
behalf of their clients at Technology Services (ITS)
Directorates. 

As such, CIO Branch of Public Works and Government Services
