Military Personnel Management Capability Transformation (MPMCT)
Project  



1) 	Purpose 

	The purpose of this notice is to update industry on the status
of the MPMCT Project and its proposed procurement approach.

2)	MPMCT Requirement Overview:

	The Department of National Defence (DND) has a requirement for
the implementation of a modern, flexible and integrated Military
Personnel Management (MPM) capability, encompassing Human
Resources (HR) and Payroll for the Canadian Forces (CF).  This
requirement flows from the Canada First Defense Strategy and
involves developing a modern regulatory and policy framework,
transforming MPM business processes and implementing a modern,
integrated Information Management system based on the Commercial
Off-The-Shelf Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software,
Oracle PeopleSoft.

The MPMCT Project has been established to manage this
implementation.  The MPMCT Project is using a cyclical project
delivery methodology that allows for a continuing program of
project reviews, with status and performance assessments (and
Go/No Go decision points) at the end of each cycle or gate.

Figure 1 below depicts the MPMCT Project approval cycles as
proposed to and approved by Treasury Board (TB).  The MPMCT
Project is currently in Cycle 1.  Note that the number and scope
of the Cycles beyond Cycle 1 are subject to change with the
confirmation of the implementation scope and the development of
a delivery roadmap in Cycle 1.

	

Figure 1 - MPMCT Project Approval Cycles


The initial MPMCT Project Scope is defined as the delivery of an
integrated MPM Solution for HR and payroll, including: 

a.	Transforming DND/CF business that supports the delivery of HR
and payroll services, including: policy transformation; business
process re-engineering and training that are aligned with
Canada's HR Business Solution Project; and the Canada Payroll
Administration Model;

b.	Configuring and implementing Oracle PeopleSoft that replaces
legacy CF HR and payroll applications;

c.	Modernization of supporting Information Technology (IT)
infrastructure (in conjunction with Shared Services Canada
(SSC));

d.	Migration of data from legacy applications into the MPM
Solution.

e.	Developing and integrating interfaces between the MPM
Solution and other Canadian Government Departments that require
CF HR and payroll information; and

f.	Transitioning the MPM Solution into an in-service state.

Final MPMCT Project Scope will be determined during Definition
Phase in partnership with the selected vendors.

3)	MPMCT Status Update:

An initial Request For Information (RFI) No. W8474-11MP01/A was
published in September 2010 seeking feedback from industry to
assist in the pre-development of the MPMCT requirement.  Canada
has reviewed industry feedback received in response to the RFI
process and, where applicable has included this feedback in the
development of the anticipated Requests for Proposal (RFPs). 
Canada is continuing its efforts to finalize the MPMCT
requirement and the associated procurement strategy. 

An Integrated Project Team (IPT) concept will be established as
part of the MPMCT Project delivery concept. An IPT is a cohesive
integrated team comprised of Canada and industry professionals
that delivers business benefits through business transformation
and IM/IT solutions. The IPT will be composed of DND/CF and
contractor organizations brought together into a single project
team structure led by the MPMCT Project Manager.

The MPMCT Procurement Strategy has identified three major
contracts:

a.	Project management resources to augment departmental staff in
the Project Management Office (PMO) and related control
processes;

b.	Business Change Management (BCM) support for activities such
as Organizational Change Management, Communications Management
and Project Outcomes Management; and

c.	a Solution Integrator (SI) who will provide the professional
services necessary to implement the overall solution including,
but not limited to, application and integration, business
process transformation, information integration and data
migration.

To address each requirement, Canada is currently contemplating
publishing individual Request for Proposals (RFPs).

At this time, Canada plans to tender separate PMO and BCM RFPs
to pre-qualified Government of Canada Standing Offer or Supply
Arrangement Holders. The specific Government of Canada Standing
Offer or Supply Arrangement under which the PMO and BCM RFP's
will be published has not yet been determined.  

At this time, Canada plans to publish a separate competitively
tendered RFP via MERX for the SI requirement. 

Canada currently contemplates publishing the three separate
RFP's (PMO, BCM and SI) on a mutually exclusive basis from one
another. Respondents providing a bid in response to one of the
three RFPs will be precluded from bidding on each of the two
other requirements. Conflict of interest requirements will also
apply to each of the individual requirements. 
 
Canada is planning to exercise its rights under current
unrelated Government of Canada contracts to address its MPMCT
software licensing needs.   

4)	Next Steps:

	Industry is reminded that the MCMPT requirements and the
associated procurement approach are currently under development
and therefore subject to change at Canada's sole discretion.
Canada reserves the sole right to alter its procurement approach
for any associated MPMCT requirement. With this in mind, the
following target MPMCT Project RFP publication dates have been
provided for information purposes only:
