Description

The Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ) intends to award a contract by mutual agreement for SAS Viya analytics platform licenses and a hosted, end-to-end managed service for the Infocentre de santé publique du Québec. The solution must run existing SAS programs and stored procedures without rewriting them, provide development and production environments, and include migration tools, architecture, installation, configuration, security, backups, updates, and support. Hosting must be in Canadian data centres, production availability must be at least 99.5%, and the platform must support the specified federated authentication. This is an advance contract award notice rather than a competitive call for tenders; suppliers who believe they can meet the requirements may submit evidence of their capability by the stated deadline.
