Cloud-Based Email Security Platform

The buyer requires a fully managed, cloud-based email security platform licensed for approximately 840 mailboxes with scalable capacity. The requested scope encompasses full-stack threat protection—including pre-delivery filtering, post-delivery remediation, identity-based threat detection, and managed email authentication—alongside Microsoft 365 integration, migration assistance, and administrator training. Only Canadian organizations conducting offsite work are eligible to bid on this opportunity. Bidders must submit proposals digitally via email or online by October 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM, and submit all questions by October 14, 2026. Submissions require a single consolidated file proving compliance with five mandatory technical requirements, including storing data in Canada, alongside a completed Annex A and cross-referenced proposal evidence. Evaluators score proposals based on pricing weighted at 30% and functional and non-functional requirements weighted at 70%, with a required 30% threshold score for the functional category. The contract period spans one year, though the solicitation forms also capture licensing pricing for years two and three. Budget specifics are unstated beyond a requirement for proponents to submit all-inclusive pricing across all mandatory line items.
