The shortlisted companies will be invited to respond to a request for proposals (RFP), which is expected for Summer 2017. IO and MCSCS say they will then evaluate the RFP submissions, determine a preferred proponent and work toward a final contract.
Under the first phase of the OPP modernization project, Ontario replaced 18 detachments, regional headquarters and forensic identification services with 17 new facilities in 16 communities across Ontario.
The OPP polices 324 communities and is responsible for patrolling 126,000 kilometres of highways.
