The Government of Canada is transforming the way it does contracting, through the new Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) Vendor Performance Management (VPM) Framework. The VPM framework will optimize value and deliver better goods and services on time for Canadians by incentivizing good performance and fostering better contract management practices. It will do this by: improving two-way communications between Canada and its suppliers; clarifying performance expectations; providing standardized means to evaluate contractors; using commodity specific scorecards with tailored Key Performance Indicators (KPIs); and eventually using past performance information as criteria in future contract awards.More information can be found here: www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/app-acq/grf-vpm/grf-vpm-eng.htmlPSPC is seeking feedback, innovative ideas and solutions from Industry that can best support the implementation of its VPM Framework, on the following:a) An Information Technology (IT) Solution that can operationalize the VPM Policy; andb) A training solution for all stakeholdersWhile PSPC has been conducting research on available options in the marketplace, this RFI represents an opportunity to learn in greater detail about the capabilities of different solutions available from Industry. The responses received through this RFI may support the development of the requirements through a potential subsequent public procurement process
