Integrated Library System
Canada has the initial requirement for a commercially available Integrated Library System (ILS, the ?Software Solution?) for the Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC). The initial requirement includes implementation, 12-month warranty, software maintenance and support, and documentation. Implementation and configuration of the Software Solution, as well as Training and Professional Services, must also be provide, if and when requested.
In 2006, PPSC signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Justice Canada for the provision of library and other internal services. Library services include the use of Justice Canada’s library system for cataloguing, circulation, serials control, and to a lesser extent book acquisitions. In addition, PPSC staff use the system’s OPAC to locate, access and request library resources.
In 2016 the PPSC Library began the process of repatriating library services from Justice Canada. Over the next 1-3 years the following offices are relocating and will remove their library collections from Justice Canada: Toronto (2018), Vancouver (2019) and Halifax (2020); these collections will be migrated to the new system where they can continue to be managed.
This bid solicitation is intended to result in the award of a contract for 1 year, plus 9 one-year irrevocable options, allowing Canada to extend the term of the contract.
The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade Organization - Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA), and the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT).
