Purpose of the Request for Information (RFI) and Summary of Requirements
The objective of this Request for Information is to identify potential vendors and software solutions and functionality to support disability case management within the RCMP. The information and feedback from these vendors may be used to develop a Statement of Work should the RCMP decide to proceed with a Request for Proposal. The RCMP may also invite some vendors to make oral presentations and demonstrations about their proposed solutions and capabilities based on the review of the RFI responses.
Nature of the Request for Information
This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the award of any contract; therefore, potential suppliers of services described in this RFI should not earmark stock or facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI. Nor will this RFI result in the creation of any source list; therefore, whether or not any potential supplier responds to this RFI will not preclude that supplier from participating in any future procurement. Also, the procurement of any of the services described in this RFI will not necessarily follow this RFI. The nature of this RFI is to solicit feedback from industry with respect to the matters described in this RFI.
