Introduction

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) and the
Department of National Defence (DND) have begun work on the
procurement for a contract for the provision of Integrated
Support Services for the Defence Resource Management Information
System (DRMIS). As part of the procurement strategy, PWGSC and
DND wish to engage the industry at the early stages, in order to
obtain industry feedback on the DRMIS Integrated Support
Services procurement. 

The overall objectives of collaborating with the industry are to
inform suppliers about the requirement via GETS Government
Electronic Tendering System, and obtain feedback from the
Industry with the aim to allow PWGSC and DND to:

A. shape the DRMIS requirements in an adequate and clear manner; 
B. examine potential alternative solutions that would meet those
requirements; and
C. help define a procurement strategy suited to achieve a
delivery model to meet Canada's objectives with DRMIS.

The Annex D to this Notice outlines specific areas where Canada
aims to obtain feedback from the participants, in the industry
engagement one-on-one sessions.

This Notice outlines Canada's intended industry engagement
strategy. Also, the Notice invites industry to provide any
initial feedback at this point, and to identify if its
organization is interested in participating in the engagement
process. While a brief overview of DRMIS Integrated Support
Services is included as part of this Notice to help familiarize
industry with the initiative, Canada may issue other Notices
that will contain more detailed information relating to the
DRMIS Integrated Support Services procurement. Suppliers may
also identify themselves as a participating entity at any time
during the process.

Interested suppliers are encouraged to continue to monitor the
Government Electronic Tendering Services (GETS) for further
information on the DRMIS Integrated Support Services procurement
process.

An Industry Day is scheduled for December 5th, 2012.
