Please note that the request for proposals (RFP) for Spend Analysis Services is cancelled effective immediately Wednesday November 27 2019.

The Government spends between $200 to 300 million (depending on capital expenditures) on goods and services annually.  Visibility of that expenditure data is instrumental to the senior management and the procurement team's efforts to enable cost-saving, reduce costs, improve efficiency and more actively manage indirect spend across the Government. 

 The Government wishes to engage a spend analytics service provider who will:

• Perform a Spend Analysis of one fiscal year of Government spend data, which consists of 12 consecutive months.
• Provide visibility of the key information about the Government's spend; suppliers; departments; geographic spend data (local vs international); currency types; contract visibility and transactions, etc., that will be used to inform executive decision making; identify cost savings opportunities; increase efficiency; reduce risk in the procurement of goods and services from third parties and prioritize top spending categories;
• Inform the Government as to how the data exchange will occur and the formatting requirements.
• Deliver data which has been consistently cleaned; duplication removed; normalized; accurately classified; categorized and collated by the third party; 
• Deliver an easy to use SaaS-based analytical toolset which provides summary visibility of expenditure data and drills to detail capabilities;
• Provide support, training, and guidance in the utilization of the web-based managed service analytical toolset;
• Ensure that the final analytics generated by this project will enable informed decision making by key users; senior management and procurement and enable the implementation of best practice sourcing. 
• Complete the spend analysis process within the shortest possible time.
• Indicate the SaaS tool hosting in their proposal and associated costs.

The successful proponent will deliver the above in their proposed solution to the Government, along with samples of structured reports and access to a reporting dashboard for three or more Government staff.
