Peru/Colombia/Panama
Tendering Procedures: 
Attachment: None
Competitive Procurement Strategy: N/A - P&A/LOI Only
Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: Yes
Nature of Requirements: 
PWGSC's Acquisitions Program (AP) has a requirement, on behalf
of the Government of Canada (GC), for a bilingual, commercially
available solution that can be minimally configured to meet the
AP's need to deliver Acquisitions Services and address the
challenges described in Annex A - Problem Statement and High
Level Solution Requirements. Canada is seeking information on
current marketplace capabilities and interest to work
collaboratively with AP to provide this transformative
technology to meet current and future business requirements, to
implement new technologies to modernize the solutions supporting
GC procurement and to ensure the successful transition from
existing to new business solutions for the provision of
Acquisitions Services. For greater clarity, the AP is not
seeking to replicate its existing technologies nor business
processes, but rather, is looking for a market leader with
existing technical capability and knowledge of the procurement
function to support the modernization of current and future
business operations.
This LOI is to initiate engagement with industry and seek
interest from potential suppliers in participating in an
information session (Industry Day) and subsequent one-on-one
industry meetings. The content of this LOI is intended to
provide industry with initial context and details pertaining to
PWGSC's requirement. For the purposes of this LOI, the target
audience is potential suppliers of the solution. PWGSC intends
to engage with industry at large - potential users of the
solution - separately at a future date.
