Industrial Security Systems Transformation (ISST) - Request for Proposal

EP243-170549/B

Description of the Requirement:

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is identified as 
one of ten Lead Security Agencies for the Government ofCanada (GC). PWGSC provides leadership and coordination activities to help ensure  the application of security safeguards through all phases of the contracting process within the scope of the Industrial Security  Program. 

The portfolio of business applications that support the delivery of Industrial Security Sector's (ISS) services is largely outdated and unsustainable. This shortcoming hinders the ISS’s efforts to meet the expectations of its Industry and Government users and partners. In  order to address this problem, the ISS is seeking to modernize the technological platform that supports its operations through the Industrial Security Systems Transformation (ISST) project.

The scope and intent of the ISST project is to replace the current complement of aging systems supporting the business functions within  the ISS with a unified solution that better addresses the current and emerging needs of Industry and GC.
