Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has taken the lead in facilitating a government wide work place initiative to create a modern workplace that will attract, retain and enable public servants to be responsive, innovative and efficient in serving Canadians. This initiative, named ‘Workplace 2.0’, is intended to renew outdated office space and to re-brand government as a modern place to work.
Health Canada, in collaboration with PWGSC, has incorporated elements of Workplace 2.0 at several of its facilities resulting in a 15% to 25% reduction in accommodation costs for the Department.
Health Canada will re-use/refresh existing systems furniture as they continue to incorporate elements Workplace 2.0 into their various facilities in the National Capital Region. This initiative not only has positive financial implications, but also has a significant environmental impact.
It is the intent to issue two (2) Standing Offers as a result of this solicitation. The Standing Offer (SO) is expected to be from the date of contract award until March 31st 2018 with two (2) additional one (1) year option periods.
The services are expected to be delivered in the National Capital Region (NCR) during the period of the SO.
