An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows Ornge to post a notice, indicating to the supplier community that it intends to award a contract to a pre-identified supplier. If no other supplier submits on or before the Response Deadline a Statement of Capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, Ornge may proceed with the contract award. However, if one or more submitting suppliers are confirmed to be viable alternatives, then Ornge will proceed with a competitive procurement process.
Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available to meet the requirements described herein may submit a Statement of Capabilities in writing to the Contracting Officer on or before the ACAN closing date. The submission must clearly demonstrate how the supplier meets the stated requirements. All such suppliers will be advised of the outcome of the ACAN process.
Ornge is seeking to procure Emergency Response Services to supplement its own Emergency Response Plan (“ERP”). Emergency Response Services include crisis support for the Ornge Emergency Response Team and disaster human services, all of which encompass items such as support for incident management, employee and family assistance, and regular training for Ornge’s internal response team members. Ornge is looking for a service provider capable of providing disaster recovery services as required.
The service provider must be available on a 24-hour basis, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, with the ability to immediately deploy the services as required. The delivery of services must include the provision of a dedicated point of contact for all emergency deployments as well as all pre-incident requirements.
