Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is issuing this second Request for Information (RFI), on behalf of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), to engage with and solicit additional feedback from Industry about a National Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS) and Body Worn Cameras (BWC). 

On October 20, 2020, PWGSC issued RFI #M7594-212120/A on behalf of the RCMP seeking industry feedback on a National Digital Evidence Management System and Body Worn Cameras. The RCMP also sought feedback on other evidence-gathering arrangements from vendors who currently offer these important products, systems and services. As part of this RFI process, Canada held an Industry Engagement Information Session as well as one-on-one vendor demonstrations with industry.  Responses and feedback received in response to the RFI will be summarized in a Summary of Feedback and Outcomes Report and published on BuyandSell.gc.ca at a later date.

Objectives:

The objectives of this second RFI are: 
a. To publish questions that were asked during the one-on-one sessions under RFI #M7594-212120/A so that each interested supplier has a chance to provide its inputs;
b. To receive additional feedback on a managed service approach for BWC and DEMS, costing methodologies and Basis of Payment structure, provision of services from Indigenous businesses, security considerations, accessibility requirements and other relevant questions; and 
c. Following this RFI, Canada may use industry feedback to advance a procurement process, with a focus on industry’s ability to deliver the solution.

This RFI is neither a call for tender nor a Request for Proposal (RFP). No agreement or contract will be entered into directly pursuant to this RFI. The issuance of this RFI is not to be considered in any way a commitment by Canada, nor as authority to potential respondents to undertake any work that could be charged to Canada.
