(CIC)

This requirement is open to all interested bidders.

Description of the requirement:

(a)	Canada has an initial requirement for a commercially
available Stakeholders Management System (the "Solution") for
approximately 500 Client Users. The required Solution must
include any licenses, software maintenance and support, and
documentation. Training and professional services must also be
provided, if requested. The bid solicitation is intended to
result in the award of a contract for 1 year, plus 3 one-year
irrevocable options allowing Canada to extend the term of the
contract. All parts of the Solution must be available to the
Client Users 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, in
English and French, and operate at all times in accordance with
the Statement of Work in the Client's operational environment
described in the bid solicitation. The term "Client User" refers
to the employees of the Government of Canada, the Minister's
office and staff, and other individuals authorized by the Client
to perform services in relation to the business and affairs of
the Client, including contractors or consultants performing work
for the Client from time to time. Although Canada may make the
Solution available to any or all the Clients, this bid
solicitation does not preclude Canada from using another method
of supply for entities of the Government of Canada with the same
or similar needs.

(b)	There is a security requirement associated with this
requirement. For additional information, consult Part 6 -
Security, Financial and Other Requirements, and Part 7 -
Resulting Contract Clauses. Bidders should consult the "Security

Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement
(WTO-AGP), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the
Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA), and the Agreement on
Internal Trade (AIT).

It is anticipated that a single contract will be awarded to meet
this requirement.

Proposed period of contract:

The contract period will be for one year from the date of
contract with an irrevocable option to extend the contract
period for three additional one-year periods.
