49 Shared Services Canada Data Centre Consolidation Industry Engagement Day Collaborative Procurement Solutions Approach Stéphane Richard Senior Director, Procurement and Vendor Relationships Shared Services Canada July 17,

50 Approach Collaborative Procurement Solution Description An iterative approach to requirements definition involving a limited number of vendors Reduce the probability of incompletely defined requirements leading to change requests Requirements will reflect what Industry can provide cost-effectively and rapidly while meeting GC constraints Define contract terms and conditions in collaboration with Industry Provide opportunity to generate new ideas based on industry input Request for Responses for Evaluation Phase Review & Refine Requirements Phase (With successful respondents) Industry Go Bid Go Engagement Forward Solicitation Forward Phase Decisions Phase Decisions Start of Execution Implementation Phase 50

51 Request for Responses for Evaluation (RFRE) Phase The purpose is to qualify suppliers who have demonstrated and proven skills and experience in implementing and operating DC services. Evaluation criteria will focus on the supplier s capabilities and experience to deliver DC services. Canada will inform Successful Respondents that, in the Review and Refine Requirements Phase, a draft Statement of Work (SOW) will be provided to them, and once the SOW is finalized, Successful Respondents will be requested to submit their list of IT products (equipment, software, services and network diagrams) as part of Canada s Supply ppy Chain Integrity (SCI) process. 51

52 Review and Refine Requirements (RRR) Phase Canada will provide the Successful Respondents with a draft SOW. Canada will collaborate with Successful Respondents to seek feedback and clarification on Canada s requirements to refine the SOW (e.g. one-on-one sessions, Q s and A s, written submissions, etc.). Once the SOW is finalized, Canada will request that the Respondents provide their list of IT products and a network diagram. Canada intends to conduct the Supply Chain Integrity (SCI) verification over a period of 10 calendar days to ensure that all IT products and the network diagram meet Canada s security and supply chain standards. 52

53 Review and Refine Requirements (RRR) Phase (continued) Upon completion of the SCI verification process, Canada will provide Respondents with written notification informing them if their IT product list and network diagram are approved. If a Respondent s IT products list is not approved, the Respondent will be briefed and have 10 calendar days following the receipt of Canada s written notification to resubmit their IT products list and if necessary, their network diagram. If the Respondent s IT products list is rejected a second time, there will be no further opportunities to resubmit a new IT products list and the Respondent will not be qualified to proceed to the next phase in the procurement process. Respondents whose IT product list and network diagram are approved by Canada will be deemed Qualified Respondents and will proceed to the Bid Solicitation Phase. 53

54 Bid Solicitation Phase Canada may issue one or more formal Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitations to the Qualified Respondents who have successfully passed the RFRE and RRR Phases. Each Qualified Respondent will be permitted to formally bid on the requirements set out in the RFP(s). 54

55 Contract Award and Implementation Contract Award will take place upon completion of the evaluation during the Bid Solicitation Phase. One or more contracts may be awarded as a result of the Request for Proposal(s). 55
