Nature of Requirements:
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of Indigenous Services Canada (DISC), First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB), is reviewing how it procures meals, accommodations and associated services for authorized First Nations and Inuit people (collectively referred to as 'Clients') temporarily in Winnipeg, Manitoba for medical attention.
Consultations with stakeholders are being undertaken to verify if the current procurement approach is still valid, to explore new service delivery approaches, to identify issues and concerns, and help optimize the process. Engaging industry will assist PWGSC and DISC in developing a strategy to meet the ongoing service needs.
The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to engage suppliers to:
-explore different service options;
-exchange on respective needs and concerns with the government of Canada’s procurement process;
-identify if opportunities exist to change the procurement process to achieve better service and value; and
-examine approaches to expand the services.
This RFI is not a bid solicitation and will not result in the award of any contract nor will this RFI result in the creation of a list of suppliers. Therefore, potential suppliers of any goods and services described in this RFI should not earmark goods or facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI. Whether or not a potential supplier responds to this RFI, it will not preclude that supplier from participating in any future procurement process. Also, this RFI will not necessarily result in the procurement of any of the services that it describes. It is simply intended to solicit feedback with respect to its content.
Nothing in this RFI shall be construed as a commitment from Canada. Canada may use any non-proprietary information obtained as part of this review in the preparation of future requirements.
