Description

Amendment#1 is raised to correct the language indicator of the French version of the RFI.

----
 

The purpose of this RFI is to seek input from industry to support Canada in preparing for a potential future procurement. The key objectives are:
 

  1. Assess the marketplace with respect to the existence of suppliers who offer Automation Software, including integrated software and service offerings;
  2. Gather information from suppliers on the Automation Software landscape, including Robotic Process Automation, its evolution and its integration with Artificial Intelligence (AI), such as Generative and Agentic AI, and other alternatives;
  3. Gather input related to data and digital sovereignty considerations; and
  4. Become a more "informed buyer" with an enhanced understanding of industry capabilities, technological trends and available goods and service offerings in the areas of interest.


The insights gathered through this RFI will support Canada in refining a potential procurement strategy, establishing technical requirements, structuring the financial model and developing the evaluation methodology.
