Description of Procurement and any conditions for participation of suppliers:

WSIB is seeking a fully hosted and supported web‐based SaaS Solution, to manage the WSIB’s end-to-end procurement process for open market and invitational procurement initiatives, from the point of RFx document creation through to the contract award and debrief phase.

The overall goals of the RFP are to:

• Establishing consistency in procurement practices, and outcomes through the use of templates and automated tools;
• Achieving better value to WSIB through improved procurement outcomes; and
• Improving flexibility and scalability to support internal governance changes, such as privacy and security and external changes in legislative requirements such as trade agreements

2. Improve decision making by:

• Expanding and modernizing the tools, technology and processes available to incorporate industry best practices within WSIB’s procurement environment; and
• Improving the quality and availability of relevant information to support procurement planning and decision-making.

3. Foster innovation by:

• Ensuring flexibility to accommodate current and emerging innovative procurement models; and
• Providing efficient and cost effective systems to ensure that the Solution is current and stays abreast of the public sector market requirements

4. Enhance customer service by:

• Reducing cycle times through streamlining, training and standardizing procurement processes;
• Providing the opportunity to support and collaborate with internal WSIB stakeholders and external vendor community; and
