RFI for Continuity and Emergency Management System

The issuing agency is seeking information to identify a vendor that can provide a continuity and emergency management system. The agency needs to solve the problem of fragmented planning by establishing a standardized, enterprise-wide approach to continuity and risk-informed planning. This desired future-state solution must consolidate and link data across ministries and enabling functions, including information technology, facilities, personnel, critical goods, and services. The scope of work covers two primary areas, starting with planning, preparedness, and continuity management. This area requires a centralized data approach, business impact analysis, dependency mapping, and lifecycle management tools for testing and compliance tracking. The system must also provide enterprise visibility through aggregated reporting and dashboards across branches, divisions, and ministries. The second scope area focuses on real-time emergency management and operational coordination across multiple concurrent incidents and stakeholders. The agency requires capabilities for incident lifecycle tracking, operational log capture, multi-channel notifications, and secure information sharing among responders and external partners. The anticipated contract period for this initiative is one year. Eligible vendors must be located onshore within Canada. The agency expects the performance of the work to occur offsite. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or through the online portal. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget, and specific evaluation criteria or key dates are not provided in the request.
