AMENDMENT #1
This amendment is needed to remove clause 8.0 MANAGEMENT OF THE PROJECT and to add the hyperlink to clause 3.0 BACKGOUND regarding the Open Government and replace it with the following:
3. BACKGROUND
The IM Policy, Planning and Performance Team of the Departmental IM/IT Strategy Performance Directorate (DIMITSPD) is the lead on two departmental priorities: compliance with the Directive on Open Government and maturing an IM Performance Measurement Framework.
Open Government
The Department is committed to achieving the Open Government (OG) core principles of greater availability of information, civic participation, professional integrity and the use of technology for openness and accountability through compliance as specified in the Directive on Open Government, and is participating in the advancement of Canada’s Action Plan on Open Government’s core commitments of Open Information, Open Data and Open Dialogue. Notably, ISED has taken a lead role in the new government-wide canada.ca website and leadership roles in integrating content around three themes: Business and Industry, Science & Technology and Money (Consumers).
In support of Canada’s Action Plan on Open Government, ISED will maximize the release of eligible government data and information of business value subject to applicable restrictions related to privacy, confidentiality and security. Planned activities include the following:

Establishing and maintaining inventories of data and information holdings;
Prioritizing the publication of data and information based on public demand;
Publishing data and information in accessible and open formats on federal Open Government websites under an open and unrestrictive license; and

Reporting annually on progress made.
The Directive on Open Government, released by TBS in October 2014, requires all Government departments to establish well-documented governance structures and processes to assist with quality assurance, life-cycle management, identification and prioritization for release, authorization to publish and sufficient resources to ensure the publication of information which is both timely and accurate.
IM Performance Measurement Framework
DIMITSPD wishes to further develop and operationalize its existing IM Performance Measurement Framework (PMF). In order to measure IM compliance to the Treasury Board Secretariat’s (TBS) Directive on Recordkeeping, provide lines of evidence required for the TBS Management Accountability Framework (MAF) and measure operational performance, the IM Policy, Planning and Performance team requires a mature and operational PMF.
8. MANAGEMENT OF THE PROJECT
This project will be managed by the Departmental IM/IT Strategy and Performance Directorate. The name of the Project Authority will be provided upon contract award.

1. MANDATE
Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED), formerly Industry Canada, works with Canadians in all areas of the economy and in all parts of the country to improve conditions for investment, enhance Canada's innovation performance, increase Canada's share of global trade and build a fair, efficient and competitive marketplace.
This includes managing Canada's airwaves and overseeing its bankruptcy, incorporation, intellectual property and measurement systems; providing financing and industry research tools to help businesses develop, import and export; encouraging scientific research; and protecting and promoting the interests of Canadian consumers.
2. ORGANIZATION
Innovation, Science and Economic Development’s (ISED) Chief Information Officer (CIO) is accountable for departmental Information Management and has several directorates within the Strategy and Information Services Branch (SISB) responsible for providing Information Management (IM) and Information Technology (IT) planning services. These services include providing advice, guidance, policies and tools in the areas of IM policy for both structured and unstructured information, records management, library, mail and wiki services, IT project planning, Information Architecture (IA) standards, and enterprise metadata management.
The Departmental IM/IT Strategy Performance Directorate (DIMITSPD) works with business units to define, describe, re-use, protect and retain information resources of business value (IRBVs) and information resources of enduring value (IREVs) in both structured and unstructured repositories. Within ISED, these information resources exist in all forms – paper, electronic documents, records in databases and applications, emails, and social media - and all need to be managed properly through a combination of policy, process, advice and technology solutions.
3. BACKGROUND
The IM Policy, Planning and Performance Team of the Departmental IM/IT Strategy Performance Directorate (DIMITSPD) is the lead on two departmental priorities: compliance with the Directive on Open Government and maturing an IM Performance Measurement Framework.
Open Government

4. PROJECT OBJECTIVES/REQUIREMENTS
As part of these initiatives, the Directorate will be responsible for the following activities:
