This report seeks the establishment of a total ceiling authority, with no commitment to spend the full amount. Amazon Web Services is a cloud service provider that allows organizations to securely store, manage, and analyze data using shared technology infrastructure, rather than operating their own physical data centres. Using cloud services allows the City to scale systems as needed, apply consistent security controls, and support modern data and analytics tools. The City currently uses Amazon Web Services cloud subscription for public-facing tools like the City's website (Toronto.ca) and Open Data Platform, as well as internal tools for City employees through a reseller contract established competitively (BA114.6) and extended through divisional authority until June 30, 2026. This contract also includes support services, providing 24/7 technical support for Amazon Web Services systems. The existing Amazon Web Services contract is procured through a reseller. The City is also developing the Toronto Data Platform, a centralized City-wide solution for data, governance, and analytics. The Toronto Data Platform development started under non-competitive Purchase Order 6057179 for an Enterprise Agreement directly with Amazon Web Services Canada Inc. to secure additional project-critical terms and services unavailable through resellers. The Enterprise Agreement allows the City to leverage its existing Amazon Web Services expertise and architecture while providing cost optimization strategies for growth. This report recommends amending contract CW2310755 for an additional 1-year term with the funding required to migrate the City's existing Amazon Web Services deployment to this direct contract, expand the Toronto Data Portal, and secure Amazon Web Services Enterprise Support.
