1. Objective and context
The International Platform Branch (ACM) of the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD), manages a diverse international real estate portfolio and delivers real property services to support Government of Canada program objectives through the provision of safe, secure, productive, environmentally sustainable and affordable workplaces and services that function for over 7,500 employees and partners, while contributing to the support and promotion of Canada’s posture on the world stage.
The next generation of sourced service delivery contracts will provide property management, project delivery and a number of optional services in the London and Paris Missions to respond to the real property requirements of Mission staff in those locations. The contracts developed for these two locations may also be used as a baseline model to respond to demand for service delivery solutions in other international jurisdictions in which DFATD has properties, where appropriate. This proactive planning exercise will ensure that Bureau of Project Delivery and Professional and Technical Services (AWD) is prepared to replace the existing contracts upon expiry and respond to new requirements for sourced service delivery solutions as they arise.
This RFI engagement will not only provide industry with the opportunity to prepare for a future procurement exercise but will also enable Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) and AWD to consider industry feedback to inform the type, nature and combination of services to include in the next generation of sourced service delivery contracts, guide the design of the procurement approach and assist in the development of improved contract documents.
Any information submitted to PWGSC in response to this RFI may be used in the development of a subsequent solicitation.
