Description of the requirement:

This bid solicitation is issued to meet PSPC requirements (the "Client") for Solutions-Based Informatics Professional Services (SBIPS) under the SBIPS SA procurement method.

PSPC is undergoing a renewal of its methods of supply for IT Professional Services, the Task Based Informatics Professional Services (TBIPS) and the Solutions Based Informatics Professional Services (SBIPS) Supply Arrangements. The current structure of these methods of supply was developed over 10 years ago. The procurement modernization initiative gives us a unique window of opportunity to innovate and modernize the key informatics professional services procurement vehicles, while integrating Agile procurement within the implementation of the TBIPS/SBIPS renewal. Given that SAP Ariba and SAP Fieldglass will be on-stream within the next few years, coupled with the significant growth in TBIPS usage, the contractor will provide critical insight to ensure we are implementing a structure that is customized and responds to the needs of the Government of Canada.

All requirements will be authorized through Task Authorizations issued in accordance with the Contract.

Security Requirement: Common PS SRCL #06 applies

Minimum Corporate Security Required: Designated Organization Screening (DOS)
