Shared Services Canada (SSC) is looking for an Automated Bidding Solution (ABS) to support its Contract Simplification Strategy and ScaleUp pilot project. . In fact, the solution will have an important contribution to the success of ScaleUp. ScaleUp is an initiative lead by SSC in collaboration with TECHNATION with the objective to facilitate the award of IT related goods, services and solutions contracts valued under $238,000 to micro and small businesses targeting Indigenous businesses and businesses owned or led by under-represented groups (women, visible minorities and persons with disabilities).
Currently, buyers manually construct contracts and there is no assembly system.

Problem
Canada lacks the ability to automate the production and submission of bid submission documents.
Overly complex contractual documents and difficult to follow.
The bid submission process is often based on the submission of written documents where the bidders have to describe in writing their capacity.
It takes time for buyers to configure a bid submission document for a given requirement.
The Solution
The solution has interactive technical support.
The solution has mechanisms that enable Canada to interact / collaborate with suppliers anonymously
The solution provides analytics on suppliers’ access and time spent in a specific form (including but not limited to how many have opened, viewed and responses).
The solution offers to the supplier the ability to fill-out a configurable satisfaction survey and provide analytics to Canada.
The solution allowed the Buyer to configure the procurement on desktop and smart enabled devices.
