A Request for Information (RFI) issued by Public Works and
Government Services Canada on behalf of Environment Canada, is
seeking information from Industry regarding the use of a Law
Enforcement COTS system(s)/application(s) as a data management
solution including software, applicable licences, annual
maintenance and support.  

Environment Canada, through the Enforcement Branch, will be
seeking to procure a vendor solution for a COTS Law Enforcement
Solution and the necessary services for the implementation,
testing, training and required configuration of the product.  In
addition, any proposed vendor is required to provide on-going
maintenance and support for the duration of the contract period
including any option years. 

The RFI is intended only to solicit feedback from industry with
respect to the matters described in the RFI. 

Background

In 1998, Environement Canada, whose mandate is to apply federal
environmental and wildlife legislations, developped a data
management system to store enforcement activity information. 
Since creation of the Enforcement Branch and the the system, the
structure of the work has changed.  As a result of these
changes, the Law Enforcement System currently in place is no
longer suitable to the increasing number of request for
information received from users and stakeholders (management,
enforcement officers, parliament, etc.).  

In order to find another IT solution for the Enforcement Branch
users, Environment Canada is currently seeking information from
the industry regarding the use of a Law Enforcement COTS
system(s)/application(s) as data management solution.  This
proposed solution would allow for a read-only link to important
information in the legacy system (i.e. the system currently in
use), as well as allow for interaction with key partner
databases. The functional requirements for this solution are
described in the attached document.
