Description

This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the award of any contract.

1. Purpose of the RFI

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Conservation and Protection (C&P) branch in consultation with Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), hereafter referred to as Canada, is seeking information from Industry on proven solutions (e.g., Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)) applications already in use for similar purposes with the capability to deliver an Enforcement and Major Case Management System (CMS).

The purpose of this RFI is to gather information on solutions from Industry that will address the needs as described within this document with the lowest risk to the DFO, and will improve the management, efficiency, and effectiveness of C&P’s enforcement operations. Once the RFI has identified available Industry solutions, it may contribute to the creation of a potential Request for Proposal (RFP) at a future unknown date. It does not, however, constitute a commitment to issue an RFP.
