The Senate of Canada requires on-going dry-cleaning services and repair work in support to its operations. Although this requirement will mostly consist of dry cleaning of uniforms and other garments, it may also include drapes and building maintenance items such as rags, etc. The period of the resulting Standing Offer Agreement for Dry Cleaning and related Services is for a period of three (3) years from signature on Standing Offer Agreement with the option to renew the standing offer for two (2) additional one (1) year periods. Enquiries regarding this RFSO must be received by e-mail at:P••••••••@•••.••••.••.ca by the Contracting Authority, no later than July 8, 2021 by 11am EST. Enquiries received after that time may not be answered. Bidders should reference as accurately as possible the numbered item of the RFSO to which the enquiry relates. Care should be taken by Bidders to explain each question in sufficient detail in order to enable the Senate 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 determines that the enquiry is not of a proprietary nature. The Senate 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.
