It is expected that the tender documents for the above two projects involve Protected information, specifically for access control systems (doors) and CCTV systems (cameras). Therefore the tender solicitations for theseprojects will include security requirements, with the obligation that interested entrepreneurs hold a corporate reliability status called "Designated Organization Screening (DOS)" and a "Document Safeguarding Capability (DSC)" and this at bid submission.Refer to web page http://ssi-iss.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/outils-tools/ns-sl-e… for more information on this subject.
All companies or suppliers interested in bidding for these future projects with Public Services & Procurement Canada (PSPC) but thatdonot meet the potential security requirements may ask the Quebec branch of PSPC’s Acquisitions and Compensation Services to sponsor them to obtain a DOS as well as a DSC.
Furthermore, companies or suppliers interested in bidding are informed that Protected documents will have to be consulted for tendering, which requires employees of interested companies or suppliers to hold a reliability security status during the tender periods.
