This procurement includes the design, development, configuration, deployment and ongoing support of the platform. The solution will provide a centralized system that ensure consistent data collection, automated validation, and reporting in alignment with embodied carbon disclosure and reduction policies for buildings and infrastructure projects. At a minimum, the platform shall enable: - Intake of material and project specific embodied carbon submissions; - Import and export capabilities for compatible whole building Life Cycle Assessment (wbLCA) submission reports and raw data; - Dashboards and customizable reporting functions for internal analysis; and - The creation of an anonymized public dataset. The Platform MUST comply with Government of Canada security requirements for Protected A information and meet Canadian-based data residency requirements.
