PERIOD OF CONTRACT:
The contract will be effective upon contract award to September 30, 2017.
You are hereby notified that the Canadian Museum of Nature intends to solicit a bid and negotiate with one firm as identified above.
The reasons for single tendering are:
Subarticles 506.12(a) and 506.12(b) of the AIT permit single tendering in circumstances where there is a requirement to ensure compatibility with existing products, to recognize exclusive rights, such as exclusive licenses, copyright and patent rights, or to maintain specialized products that must be maintained by the manufacturer or its representative; and where there is an absence of competition for technical reasons and the goods or services can be supplied only by a particular supplier and no alternative or substitute exists.
An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and agencies to post a notice, for no less than (15) calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it intents to award a good, service or construction contract to a pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the Contracting Authority may then proceed with the award.
Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person identified in this notice on or before the closing date of this notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.
The Canadian Museum of Nature reference number, the contracting officer’s name and the closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile transmission, on the covering page.
The Canadian Museum of Nature retains the right to negotiate with supplier on any procurement.
