REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS FOR STANDING OFFER AGREEMENT

SCOPE OF SERVICES

The City of Surrey wishes to develop a list of experienced consultants with the proven ability to deliver Data-Driven Decision Making (“D3M”) solutions for a variety of projects within the City on an “as and when needed" basis.

BACKGROUND

The City is actively seeking consultancy services in support of the City's D3M initiative. The objective is to enhance the City's existing team by partnering with external experts to ensure the efficient and prompt delivery of Business Intelligence (“BI”) solutions whenever required.

This engagement aims to select consultant(s) who can:

• Undertake D3M projects encompassing a spectrum of tasks such as crafting reports, constructing data warehouse components, designing and developing dashboards, conducting data analysis, and applying data science methodologies—all within the Azure platform.
• Address resource gaps by offering additional capacity when the City necessitates heightened support for the implementation of the D3M Program.

The City is keen on forming partnerships with consultant(s) that share its vision for harnessing data to drive informed decision-making. Through this collaboration, the City aims to further enrich its BI capabilities, expedite project delivery, and bolster the effectiveness of its D3M efforts. Interested parties are invited to partake in this journey to empower the City's endeavors in the realm of data-driven insights and strategic initiatives.
