The following RFP is directed only to the qualified suppliers of the AI source list.

Suppliers under Bands 2 and 3 are invited to bid.

OBJECTIVE Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), have a requirement for an interactive solution that uses the corpus of federal courts (Federal Court, Federal Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court of Canada) humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) and pre-removal risk assessment (PPRA) case law to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies. This Litigation Support Solution (LS Solution) will be used to support legal research, analyze and predict potential outcomes in litigation, and conduct trend analysis to support litigation strategies. This LS Solution, once designed, tested, and delivered, will be accessible to up to 25 Users in various federal departments and agencies. Should the LS Solution prove to be useful and reliable for immigration law questions, the Government of Canada is prepared to provide the necessary components of the LS Solution to third parties such as other levels of government, organizations or industry outside of the Government of Canada so that they may leverage the technology.

REQUIREMENTS The Contractor must, using the publicly available corpus of case law on H&C and PRRA, deliver a LS Solution that provides an interactive and user-friendly interface to search, find, analyze legal information, as well as generate reports on litigation trends, patterns, and relationships in case law, such as key facts that are influencing outcomes in litigation.

For clarity, the LS Solution must not be created and will not be used for profiling the decision-making patterns or attributes of individual decision-makers or courts, and should include properties that prevent these invalid applications. These may include, but need not be limited to, restrictions on the criteria that may be identified by the LS Solution as relevant to address User Queries, or any research, reporting or trends functionality. More specifically, the Contractor must provide a Prototype Solution and Production Ready LS Solution that has the high level functionality: a. To analyze and predict potential outcomes for litigation cases using publicly available case law data; b. To annotate, tag, or otherwise process case law data for research and analysis; c. To recognize changes in outcomes based on newly available case law data; and d. To identify trends relating to specific facts or sets of facts. For the full list of business and technical requirements, see section 8.1, Table 1, Item 1 of this document.
