SBIPS Information Management / Business Intelligence - SharePoint Implementation

The Department of Women and Gender Equality is seeking a vendor to design, configure, and implement a secure, compliant Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online information management solution, with the primary goal of migrating content from RDIMS, shared drives, and legacy SharePoint sites. The project begins with a pilot migration for the IM-IT Branch, ensuring the solution meets strict security requirements including SRCL #6, VOD, Reliability, and Protected B standards under Canada’s Contract Security Program. The vendor must restructure information architecture, establish governed settings for access controls and retention policies, and deliver comprehensive documentation and training to enable internal staff through knowledge transfer. The contract period runs from June 1, 2026, to November 30, 2026, with an optional extension through November 30, 2027, to expand the solution department-wide, including large-scale migration and change management support. All work must be performed within the National Capital Region, and only vendors holding a Tier 1 position on the SBIPS Supply Arrangement under EN537-05IT01 are eligible to respond. The solicitation is open to international trade agreement participants under CETA, CPTPP, and WTO-AGP, but the successful contractor and all personnel must comply with the Government of Canada’s security clearance requirements, even if not held at submission. The contracting authority is Sonia Danis, reachable by email, and proposals must be submitted directly to her. No contract value is disclosed, and while the deliverables are clearly defined, specific evaluation criteria, inspection protocols, invoicing procedures, payment details, and formal acceptance locations are not outlined in the available documentation.
