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.

The estimated value of this contract is from $500,000 - $750,000.
Trade Agreements:
This procurement is subject to the limited tendering provisions
of the Agreement on Internal Trade as follows:
AIT Article 506.12.a
The following exceptions to the Government Contracts Regulations
are being invoked:
Part 1, Section 6 (d)
Requirement for Cablevision Services
The Department of National Defence (DND) requires the following
services for Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Esquimalt in Victoria,
BC:
Provide basic Digital Television service distribution to CFB
Esquimalt's Buildings with the added ability of Base
Accommodations' room occupants or other units to set up
secondary accounts in order to access upgraded Television,
Internet and/or Digital Telephone Service directly from the
provider with no involvement, support or cost for the Internet
or Telephone Service from Base Accomodations.
Shaw Communications has been selected as a sole source provider
for this work for the following reasons:
Services must be distributed to the rooms on CFB Esquimalt's
legacy 75 Ohm Coaxial cable distribution system. Due to
security restrictions, wireless signal distribution is not
allowed. Shaw Communications is the only known supplier
capable of distributing the required services on the legacy
infrastructure and to support secondary account capability to
invoice users directly for add-on services.
Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to provide the services and/or goods described herein, may
submit a statement of capabilities in writing to the contact
person identified in this notice on or before the closing date
of this notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly
demonstrate how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.
