The Government of Canada would like to gauge industry interest
in providing English-to-French translation and revision
services, on an as-and-when-requested basis, with the work being
done by the supplier and delivered electronically to the The
Translation Bureau (TB).

In order to deliver future services as mentioned above and
described in the section entitled "Statement of Requirement,"
Canada is seeking information on current suppliers of
translation and revision services for legal documents.

The main objectives of this Request for Information (RFI) are as
follows:

a) Provide industry with an early opportunity to assess and
comment on the TB requirement in order to maximize best
value to Canada if a request for proposal (RFP) is posted;

b) Determine the capability of suppliers to provide services
described in this RFI;

c) Solicit feedback and recommendations on any issues that would
impact a supplier's ability to fulfill the TB requirement; and

d) Solicit industry knowledge and expertise with regard to best
practices that would increase the likelihood of a successful
outcome for this project and/or similar projects.

This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the
award of any contract. Therefore, potential suppliers of any
goods or services described in this RFI should not reserve stock
or facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any
information contained in this RFI. Nor will this RFI result in
the creation of any source list. Therefore, whether or not any
potential supplier responds to this RFI will not preclude that
supplier from participating in any future procurement. Also, the
procurement of any of the goods or services described in this
RFI will not necessarily follow this RFI. This RFI is simply
intended to solicit feedback from industry with respect to its
contents.

Nothing in this RFI shall be construed as a commitment from
Canada to issue an RFP for this project. Canada may use any
non-proprietary information obtained as part of this review or
while preparing a future official RFP.

Canada shall not be bound by anything stated in this document.
Canada reserves the right to change at any time any or all parts
of the requirement, as it deems necessary. Canada also reserves
the right to revise its procurement approach, as it considers
appropriate, either based on information submitted in response
to this RFI or for any other reason it deems appropriate.
Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.
