The purpose of this Request for Supplier Qualification (the “RFSQ”) is to create a roster of a limited number of qualified event planning and management agencies who are Canadian incorporated, with physical headquarters, presence in Canada and that have the ability to serve as temporary contracted resources to DC in Canada, the United States and other global markets on a project by project basis.DC generates demand, in collaboration with our partners, for international travel to Canada, for both leisure and business purposes. Our partners include federal departments, provincial and city destination marketing organizations, and other tourism partners such as airlines, hotels and resorts.The DC brand reflects the growing significance of the meetings industry to Canada’s economy. Meetings can be the catalyst in introducing Canada’s export business interests to key influencers, business stakeholders, entrepreneurs, and investors from around the world. As visitors get to know Canada and its high quality products, services, and facilities, these visitors can become advocates for Canada, uncovering investment and trade opportunities, identifying business partnerships and creating the foundation for trade relationships. It is DC’s intent to develop a roster of pre-qualified proponents (the “Roster”) which will be utilized as required to meet DC’s needs.
