Online Testing Platform Development & Maintenance

The Canada Revenue Agency is seeking a subcontractor to develop and maintain a secure, scalable web platform designed to deliver high-volume unsupervised cognitive assessments with robust anti-cheating mechanisms and stringent data integrity controls. The platform must support reliable administration of cognitive tests under unmonitored conditions while ensuring the validity and confidentiality of results through advanced technical safeguards, including behavioral monitoring, anomaly detection, and secure data handling protocols. The system will need to accommodate large user volumes with minimal latency, maintain compliance with federal data protection standards, and be capable of ongoing updates to counter emerging security threats and testing manipulation tactics. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541512, indicating it falls under custom computer programming services, and is posted as a subcontract opportunity with a response deadline of July 21, 2026. While specific financial details or performance metrics are not outlined, the emphasis on scalability, security, and continuous maintenance implies long-term operational expectations for the vendor. Performance is expected to occur within Canada, and the solution must align with the Government of Canada’s standards for digital services and data sovereignty. The platform will serve as a critical tool for delivering assessments in a trusted, tamper-resistant environment, making reliability, auditability, and resilience core requirements for successful bid submission.
