Notice of Intent to Direct Award
Issued: September 25, 2024
File # PHSA 15062
NOI Title: Chatbot-AI Program
Provincial Health Services Authority
Notice is hereby given that Provincial Health Services Authority (“PHSA”) on its own behalf intends to directly award a Contract to the following supplier to provide Chatbot Program Service for an approximate five (5) years term at an estimated value of $350,000 CAD.
Google Cloud Canada Corporation
1741 Lower Water Street, Suite 600
Halifax, NS, Canada
B3J 0J2
In accordance with applicable trade agreements, PHSA, as agent for the Health Authority has chosen not to proceed with a competitive process for the following reason:
The Chatbot-AI Program has been operational for the past four years. PHSA plans to assume management and operations of the program, along with its associated technical environment, which is deployed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for the following reasons:
1) Migrating the 47 active chatbots across 12 health organizations to another cloud platform would require 11 to 19 months due to the manual, complex nature of the process, which involves rebuilding and testing hundreds of intents, integrations, and terabytes of data.
2) As the AI program is currently exploring new use cases within PHSA and related health organizations, switching platforms isn’t feasible until this assessment is complete. GCP offers comparable services to other providers, meeting current and future needs.
