DESCRIPTION


The department is seeking information from vendors capable of providing a cloud-based, commercial off-the-shelf Software-as-a-Service user testing and research platform. The platform must support planning, execution, analysis, and storage of user research and usability testing in both French and English across multiple programs and digital products.

The vendor should provide managed cloud infrastructure and applications, development documentation for future custom integrations, onboarding, technical configuration, and initial optimization.
