HUMAN RESOURCES APPLICATION TRANSFORMATION INITATIVE - 
Request for Information

Further to the Industry Day Notice published under
24062-140032/A, this is a Request for Information (RFI)
pertaining to the HUMAN RESOURCES APPLICATION TRANSFORMATION
INITATIVE (HRATI), which is an initiative of Government of
Canada (GC) to provide an Application Management and Maintenance
Service (AMMS) to the GC.

The Government of Canada is seeking feedback from industry on
the following subject matter:
(i)	Industry indicative for costing of this initiative,
including projected timelines, milestones, and criteria for
achieving cost effective service deliver.
(ii)	The ability to meet the draft requirements provided in Part
III of this RFI
(iii)	The questions provided in Part IV of this RFI;
(iv)	Industry's recommendations for a low risk approach that
could be considered by GC to deliver a consolidated HR
application service to the GC that would meet the business,
timeline, and cost reduction outcomes presented throughout this
document, and;
(v)	The ability to meet anticipated (draft) mandatory evaluation
criteria
in Annex D.

The GC intends to use feedback from (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv)
to solidify its procurement approach and help determine the "way
forward" for how the new AMMS should be acquired, delivered, and
managed, and feedback from (v) to help determine the mandatory
and rated evaluation criteria for organizations to respond to at
the next stage of the procurement process, in which Canada will
identify a subset of successful respondents for subsequent
stages in the procurement process.

Organizations are encouraged to not feel bound by the questions
in Part IV, but to feedback on any portion of the RFI or add
additional information or clarification that may aid the GC in
structuring the initiative or learning from case studies and
experiences of organizations.

Potential RFI One-on-One meetings:

Following the close of the RFI, at Canada's discretion, meetings
may be held with Respondents to seek further clarification or
elaboration on their RFI response.
