PROJECT TITLE: Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) payments
BACKGROUND
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the process of exchanging
electronic data in a structured computer processable message
format, using public standards. EDI payment processes the credit
transfer of funds from one party to another made through an
electronic exchange and issues payment messages relating to
financial data in accordance with the Canadian Payments
Association (CPA) Rule E3 in order to effect a business payment.
The Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada is
the Receiver General for Canada (RG). The RG is responsible for
managing the inflows and outflows of the Consolidated Revenue
Fund (CRF) and for making payments and managing receipts. On
behalf of the RG, Public Works and Government Services Canada
(PWGSC) issues approximately 265 million Government of Canada
payments each year. Payments are requisitioned electronically by
some hundred and five (105) departments and agencies using
PWGSC's Standard Payment System (SPS). EDI is normally used for
payments that require same-day completion and/or are accompanied
by extensive narrative or financial details required by the
payee (e.g. Bell Canada billing). During the fiscal year of
2013-14, the RG issued approximately 69,800 EDI payments with a
value of over 13 billion dollars.
This Statement of Work relates to the banking service to be
provided by the lead Financial Institution (FI), to be referred
to hereafter as the EDI Contractor, for the processing of
outbound Government of Canada payments in EDI format.
When EDI is specified as the method of payment, the payment
instruction is converted to EDI format and forwarded to the EDI
Contractor (currently using a CPA service network). The EDI
Contractor is responsible to forward the payment instruction to
the payee's FI. The authorization and the authentication of the
payment requisitions are performed electronically using an
RSA-based Electronic Authentication and Authorization (EAA)
process.
OBJECTIVE
The Government of Canada uses Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
payments in order to obtain a number of cost and processing
benefits. The primary benefits of EDI over other electronic
payment methods are the ability to make same-day payments and
the ability to transmit significant amounts of narrative or
financial data along with the payment. Therefore, the Government
of Canada is able to realize paper, manual processing and
mailing cost savings.

September 30, 2018 and the date of commencement of services must
