An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community
that a department or agency intends to award a contract for
goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier,
thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in
bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no
supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the
requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date
stated in the ACAN, the contracting authority may then proceed
with the award.

Toghbook CFS10 Notebooks, as per the Statement of Requirements

The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade
Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), the

to provide the services and/or goods described herein, may

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. However, should a Statement of
