The Identified User for this SA; is Public Works and Government Services Canada, Quebec Region
The period of the SA: Valid until the financial cap of 7.5M is reached, but could be reevaluated in five years.
The purpose of this Request for Supply Arrangements (RSA) is to establish Supply Arrangements (SA) for the delivery of the requirements described herein to the identified users throughout Quebec, except for the National Capital Region and the Comprehensive Land Claim Agreements (CLCAs) areas in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec and Labrador. Products to be delivered to CLCA areas within the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, or Labrador will be subject to separate contracts, awarded outside of the SA.
Supply Arrangement (SA):
A Supply Arrangement (SA) is a method of supply used by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) to procure goods and services. A SA is an arrangement between Canada and pre-qualified suppliers that allows identified users to solicit bids from a pool of pre-qualified suppliers for specific requirements within the scope of a SA.
A SA is not a contract for the provision of the goods and services described in it and neither party is legally bound as a result of signing a SA alone. The intent of a SA is to establish a framework to permit expeditious processing of "individual bid solicitations" which result in legally binding contracts for the goods and services described in those bid solicitations.
On-going Opportunity for Qualification
The Request For Supply Arrangements includes the qualification cycle set out below to allow new suppliers to qualify on an ongoing basis. Pre-qualified suppliers, to whom a supply arrangement has been issued, will not be required to submit a new arrangement.
Cycles for Qualification
Due to the resources required to evaluate the proposals, Canada reserves the right to conduct the evaluation of proposals no less than semi-annually (that is, Canada may gather proposals received over a six-month period, in order to conduct the evaluation of the proposals concurrently as part of a single cycle of evaluations).
