Details

This Request for Information (“RFI”) is issued by the Regional Municipality of Niagara (“Niagara Region”) for the purposes of gathering information about the marketplace in order to assist in the determination of future purchasing options or requirements. The Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) is seeking information on enterprise software that supports business continuity, operational resilience, business impact analysis, dependency management, continuity and recovery planning, crisis and incident coordination, mass notification, exercises, reporting, and related continuity governance activities. Given the nature of the information that may be maintained within the solution, NRPS has a strong preference for solutions hosted in Canada that support Canadian digital sovereignty. NRPS's preferred solution would store and process organizational data, including backups and disaster-recovery copies, within Canada.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this it & telecom opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
