ADVANCE CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE (ACAN) 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 officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier. DEFINITION OF THE REQUIREMENT Statistics Canada’s Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) seeks to purchase 400 activity behaviour monitoring devices, accessories, and software. These devices, accessories, and software must meet the outlined requirements in this document.
