The Senate of Canada invites submissions of quotations for the supply, installation and maintenance as set forth in this RFQ. The period of any resulting contract(s) shall be for one (1) year with four (4) one-year option periods.
You must bid on all items in the stream(s) you have selected in order for your bid to be valid – see Annex “E” - Price List
Any enquiries regarding this RFQ must be received by e-mail at: P••••••••@•••.••••.••.ca, no later than February 2, 2024 at 11:00 AM EST to the attention of Shirley Chartrand, Senior Procurement Advisor. Enquiries received after that time may not be answered. Bidders should reference as accurately as possible the numbered item of the bid solicitation to which the enquiry relates. Care should be taken by bidders to explain each question in sufficient detail in order to enable the Senate of Canada to provide an accurate answer. Enquiries that are of a proprietary nature must be clearly marked “proprietary” at each relevant item. Items identified as “proprietary” will be treated as such except where the Senate of Canada determines that the enquiry is not of a proprietary nature. The Senate of Canada may edit the question(s) or may request that the Bidder do so, in order that the proprietary nature of the question(s) is eliminated, and the enquiry can be answered to all bidders. Enquiries not submitted in a form that can be distributed to all bidders may not be answered by the Senate of Canada. Non-compliance with this condition for that reason alone may result in the disqualification of Bidder’s quotation.
To ensure the equality of information among bidders, answers to enquiries which are relevant to the RFP will be posted to all bidders on CanadaBuys without revealing the sources of the enquiry.
