    1.0 Overview
    The Request Processing Software Solutions (RPSS’s) are intended to support Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) offices in over 265 Government of Canada (GC) institutions for the delivery of ATIP services.
    Given that GC institutions currently provide ATIP services in a wide variety of different ways with software solutions that in most cases are not flexible enough to efficiently retrieve information or allow for interaction/sharing of secured information, the GC seeks to modernize its various request management software solutions used throughout the federal government. New RPSS solutions must provide the GC with more current and more advanced technology in federal ATIP offices and should benefit in terms of significant gains in efficiency and administrative cost savings to process ATIP requests, and abandon existing stove-piped, legacy, and/or paper-based solutions.

    The GC is therefore seeking to put in place up to 2 multi-departmental contracts per Tier of functionality (Tier I and Tier II) for approximately 265 Government of Canada departments, agencies, Crown corporations and their wholly-owned subsidiaries to leverage.
