It is responsible for ensuring accuracy in the selling of measured goods, developing and enforcing the laws related to measurement accuracy, approving and inspecting measuring devices and investigating complaints of suspected inaccurate measurement.As Canada’s sole technical competent authority and regulator of the measurement of goods in the marketplace, MC needs tools and systems, including highly specialized engineering and measuring technologies, that may not necessarily be satisfied by a mainstream solution. MC finds itself with basic IM/IT systems that are at or near end of life. MC’s current infrastructure is a patchwork of partially integrated database applications that offer little or no flexibility and next to no sophistication to support data analysis and management decisions. Its mobile workforce in the field has limited integration with operational planning, data and records management. New technologies for virtual fieldwork and the Internet of things (IOT) hold great promise for the workforce in the field but are scarcely conceivable within the current IM/IT framework.The Contractor will develop a forward-looking IM/IT plan based on MC’s vision and alignment with Treasury Board Secretariat’s Policy and Directive on Service and Digital. The plan must acknowledge MC’s limited resources, capitalizes on the strengths of its CIO partners and their enterprise standard solutions, and seek opportunities for technology to create efficiencies.Level of Security Requirement: Company Minimum Security Level Required: ReliabilityResource Minimum Security Level Required: ReliabilityAssociated Documents:The associated documents are the Request for Proposal and the Attachment 2 to Part 1 List of Suppliers.Proposed period of contract:The proposed period of contract shall be from date of Contract award to March 31, 2024 with the irrevocable option to extend two (2) additional one-year period(s) under the same terms and conditions..File Number: ISED 197576-01Contracting Authority: Martine BrayE-Mail: m••••••••@••••••••.••.caNOTE: The Task-based informatics professional services (SBIPS) Method of Supply is subject to quarterly refresh cycles.
