General information
Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) to inspect on an
as-and-when-requested basis, marine structures throughout the
Quebec Region.
A Supply Arrangement (SA) is a method of supply used by Public
Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) to procure goods
and services. A SA is an arrangement between Canada and
pre-qualified suppliers that allows identified users to solicit
bids from a pool of pre-qualified suppliers for specific
requirements within the scope of a SA. A SA is not a contract
for the provision of the goods and services described in it and
neither party is legally bound as a result of signing a SA
alone. The intent of a SA is to establish a framework to permit
expeditious processing of "individual bid solicitations" which
result in legally binding contracts for the goods and services
described in those bid solicitations.
On-going Opportunity for Qualification
This notice is being issued as the perpetual Notice to the
Supply Arrangement (SA) (EE517-112802) to inspect on an
as-and-when-requested basis, marine structures throughout the
Quebec Region. The objective is to invite additional suppliers
to submit arrangements to become pre-qualified Suppliers under
Terms and Conditions of SA EE517-112802 until 31 May 2014.
Pre qualified suppliers for which a SA has already been issued
under EE517-112802/A, and which is still valid, will not have to
submit a new arrangement.
If a supplier would like to qualify for a Supply Arrangement
under this RFSA, it must obtain the RFSA documents by contacting
MERX and requesting Number EE517-112802/B.
Failure to Qualify: PWGSC will notify all suppliers that fail to
qualify and identify the reason their proposal has been
non-compliant.
During the 6 months following notice to a supplier of its
failure to qualify, that supplier may
submit additional documentation supporting its qualification.
Provided the Supplier advises PWGSC, within such period, that it
considers its proposal complete, PWGSC will then, subject to
Canada's right to conduct evaluations in cycles, re-evaluation
the updated proposal. Where PWGSC has notified a supplier that
it has failed to qualify a second time, PWGSC will not evaluate
further proposals from that supplier (or any supplier that
includes or is otherwise comprised of that supplier) for a
period of six (6) months.
Evaluation Procedures
Arrangements will be assessed in accordance with the entire
requirement of the Request For Supply Arrangements (RFSA)
including the technical evaluation criteria. No financial
criteria are evaluated under this RFSA. Financial criteria will
be requested during "individual bid solicitations" sent directly
to pre-qualified Suppliers of EE517-112802 SA.
All compliant Offerors will receive a SA.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.
Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
