RFP OSC202223-051 - Project: Tender_17120 - Reference And Market Data Acquisition

Detailed Description
PART 2 - Description of Goods /Services Requested
2.1 The OSC is seeking to acquire a Solution which provides access to market and reference data that will support a number of our regulatory activities, performed by different branches of the OSC, such as capital market research and analysis, identifying trends and risks and validation of in-house data. For such a Solution, which may involve one or more Products, we are seeking to work with a provider who can accommodate three(3) unique needs:

(a) individual licenses to enable sophisticated users who need the flexibility to login either through a web portal or a desktop app, in order to run customized data queries on a regular and ad hoc basis;
(b) bulk downloads of sub-sets of data to support the integration of derived data into a cloud environment with appropriate permissions for internal use and distribution, and to other regulatory bodies;
(c) permission to publish or otherwise distribute to external recipients, certain limited extracts of data (or information derived from this data) from time to time, on an ad-hoc, non-systematic and non-regular basis, where this is required by law, or where this is required for the purpose of providing evidence to support policy making decisions or carrying out other regulatory functions mandated by law, in relation to the Canadian capital markets

The OSC anticipates that we would have approximately 25-35 sophisticated users who require licensing to run data queries and that for the derived data the people who read that information in some form could conceivably be anyone at the OSC or its regulatory partners in the Canadian Securities Administrators.
