About this opportunity
AI summaryThe City requires a vendor to supply, implement, maintain, and support a commercial, off-the-shelf, cloud-based blockchain tracing software solution. The platform must enable offsite users to independently validate, corroborate, and review cryptocurrency investigative findings and outputs from third-party providers. The software will verify transactional pathways, timelines, wallet relationships, and attribution determinations while identifying discrepancies and producing evidentiary-grade reports for law enforcement, disclosure, expert review, and court proceedings. Only onshore Canadian organizations are eligible to submit proposals. Vendors must submit responses digitally via email or online, and they must submit all questions no later than November 19, 2026. The procurement process will follow non-binding consecutive negotiations, and The City's advisors may participate in evaluating the proposals.
