Description
Trade Agreement: WTO-AGP/NAFTA/AIT/Canada FTAs with Peru/Colombia/Panama Tendering Procedures: All interested suppliers may submit a bid Competitive Procurement Strategy: N/A - P&A/LOI Only Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No Nature of Requirements: Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) Acquisitions Branch (AB) Subject: Support Services for the Department of National Defence (DND)'s Defence Resource Management Information System (DRMIS) and Public Works and Government Services Canada(PWGSC)'s SIGMA system. File#: W8474-126279/E Introduction: In June 2014 Canada published a Request for Proposal (RFP) # W8474-126279/D (previous RFP) on the Government Electronic Tendering Service website (https://buyandsell.gc.ca/procurement-data/tender-notice/PW-XQ-00 8-27724) to satisfy the Support Services requirements for DND and PWGSC. The RFP was subsequently cancelled in April 2015. Both DND and PWGSC are in the process of revising and better defining the requirements for the purpose of attracting and retaining highly qualified resources. As part of this exercise, industry feedback is being requested in key areas of proposed changes to the RFP. Contextual information and specific questions are provided throughout the Annexes of the RFI for your feedback and our consideration. The objectives of this Request for Information (RFI) are to engage with industry on the key areas of proposed changes and validate whether these changes will foster the desired outcome in attracting and retaining highly qualified resources throughout the contract period. Summary: DRMIS (DND): DND has an SAP-based integrated information system for the support of Materiel Acquisition and Support and Financial and Managerial Accounting business processes, as well as a number of other related processes. Implementation of this integrated information system involved the replacement of a large number of legacy systems with two main SAP R/3 based solutions: the Materiel Acquisition and Support Information System (MASIS) and the Financial and Managerial Accounting System (FMAS). In April 2010, these two systems were merged to establish a single core SAP ECC 6.0 based solution, known as DRMIS. Further consolidation of business processes has occurred with the implementation of an SAP solution for supply chain functionality in DRMIS, as well as the incorporation of other business processes including those related to real property management. As the Department continues to leverage DRMIS to meet evolving requirements, and as functionality is increased and organizational coverage is widened (for example, the integration into DRMIS of supply chain functionality and other business processes such as those related to real property management) it is expected that DRMIS will grow to over 30,000 users in the coming years. These future opportunities will allow the organization to achieve maximum benefit from its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms. SIGMA (PWGSC): (PWGSC) has implemented an integrated system that supports financial, procurement and real property business lines using SAP ECC, known as SIGMA which includes SAP Business Intelligence (BI), SAP Productivity Pak and other SAP tools and applications. SIGMA is a complex SAP-based system. It was initially implemented in 2008 to meet departmental financial and material management requirements and is currently being used by over 6,200 users located within PWGSC and in client departments. The Department continues to leverage SIGMA to meet evolving requirements in order to achieve savings and operational efficiencies. With the integration of real property functionality into SIGMA, it is expected that SIGMA will grow to over 8,700 users in the coming year. PWGSC continues to identify opportunities that would allow the Department and the Government of Canada (GC) to realize maximum benefit from its ERP platform.
