Shared Services Canada (SSC) procures different quantities of various types of Information Technology (IT) equipment on a regular basis. SSC currently stores a large portion of its non-production IT assets at a central location in the NCR which is under contract until March 31, 2025. As a result, SSC must find a replacement warehousing solution that addresses evolving requirements over the next 10 years.
SSC is seeking warehousing, distribution and Canada-wide shipping services. A minimum of two warehouse locations are required. One of the warehouses must be located in the National Capital Region (NCR) or anywhere east, west, or south of the NCR while remaining in Ontario. The other warehouse must be located anywhere in Canada. For information purposes only, SSC estimates that it can have up to 3000 pallets (i.e., up to 64, 96 and 128 cubic feet each) worth of IT equipment at any time that would require pre-deployment storage. Approximately 95% of SSC’s IT equipment is stored on pallets measuring 48 x 40 inches.
