General information
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.
"IMPORTANT NOTICE: New measures related to Code of Conduct and
certifications included in the solicitation documents requires
attention."
