These procurements will be proceeding under the exception related to compatibility, where Kronos Canadian Systems and the City has determined in good faith that both the proposed procurement and the selected supplier, along with the terms and conditions of the contract are beneficial to the City (Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 195, Procurement, Section 7.1K.). By 2027, the supplier is retiring and ending support for its legacy on-premises workforce management system, which the City of Toronto has used since 2016 as its enterprise-standard solution for divisions with complex scheduling and workforce planning needs. This report addresses business continuity for the two divisions currently dependent on the legacy system until full migration to the new platform is complete and state of good repair by moving to an up-to-date, fully supported platform. Additionally, this report supports City's broader modernization goal to ensuring all divisions with complex scheduling needs are on a single, unified solution. City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195 - Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer's authority of the cumulative five-year commitment limit for each supplier under Article 7, Section 195-7.3D 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 71-11A.
