Item - 2025.GG26.17

The General Government Committee recommend that:

1. City Council, in accordance with Section 7.1P. of the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 195 (Procurement), and Section 71-11.1.C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control By-Law), grant authority to the Chief Technology Officer, to amend Non-Competitive Purchase Order 6055323 with Accenture by increasing the contract value by $343,750 net of all applicable charges and taxes ($349,800 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries), revising the current Purchase Order Value from $481,250 to $825,000 ($489,720 to $839,520 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries), and extend the term an additional 15 months to January 31, 2027.

2. City Council direct that Confidential Attachment 1 to the report (November 25, 2025) from the Chief Technology Officer, and the Chief Procurement Officer, remains confidential in its entirety, as it pertains to a procedure to be applied to negotiations carried on or to be carried on by or on behalf of the City of Toronto.

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Purchase Order 6055323 with Accenture Inc., a Canadian business subsidiary, in the amount of $343,750 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($349,800 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) for professional services.

Purchase Order 6055323 was valid for an initial 18-month term and extended for an additional 3 months. This amendment request represents a renewal to extend the contract, for an additional 15 months at the same monthly cost and same terms. Non-competitive procurements may be undertaken where both the proposed procurement and supplier can be justified in good faith based on an exception set out in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement.

City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer’s authority of the cumulative five-year commitment limit for each vendor under Article 7, Section 195-7.3(D) of the Purchasing By-law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11(A).
