The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) requires the services of a ground transportation (limousine) company to provide sedans, mini-vans, SUVs and large vans on an “as and when requested” basis to support transportation requirements for Visits to Ottawa and the National Capital Region (NCR). The services provided by the bidder are significant in the impression made upon foreign dignitaries visiting Canada. The quality of logistics facilitation offered by Canada and its Government must be superior. The bidder is expected to, through services provided, enhance Canada’s image while providing transportation services during visits. Since needs and situations are ever changing, flexibility in serving clients is of the utmost importance.
The services requested include both visits requiring Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) controlled motorcades and visits not involving RCMP controlled motorcades.
