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

suppliers and be awarded with a supply arrangement.
(ii) New suppliers: new suppliers may submit their application
to become holders of a supply arrangement during the supply
arrangement period. Already qualified suppliers won't be removed
from the suppliers list because new suppliers get qualified.
(iii) Number of supply arrangements: The Supplier acknowledges
that Canada may award an unlimited number of supply arrangements
throughout the period of the supply arrangement.
(iv) Cycles of qualification: Due to the resources required to
evaluate the proposals, Canada reserves the right to conduct the
