IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SUPPLIERS RE. REQUEST FOR SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS REQUIREMENTS
Due to the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, temporary measures are being taken on-site at the Québec Region Bid Receiving Unit to encourage social distancing. The health and safety of staff and suppliers remains our top priority.
Suppliers are required to submit arrangements electronically using the Canada Post epost Connect application for the subject arrangement solicitation. This service allows suppliers to submit bids, offers and arrangements electronically to PWGSC Bid Receiving Units. This online service enables the electronic transfer of large files up to Protected B level.
Faxed and hard copy (submitted in person or via mail/courier) bids will not be accepted for the subject bid solicitation.
Given current circumstances and network limitations, some active procurements may be delayed. To stay up to date on the status of specific procurements, please consult Buysandsell.gc.ca.
General information:
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) (EE517-191113) 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 Request For Supply Arrangement (RFSA) EE517-191113/C.
Pre-qualified suppliers for which a SA has already been issued under RFSA no EE517-191113/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 Number EE517-191113/C.
Evaluation Procedures:
Arrangements will be assessed in accordance with the entire requirement of the 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 EE517-191113.
Services Description:
To perform on an as-and-when-requested basis, for Public Works and Government Services Canada in behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, marine structures inspection and maintenance services throughout the Quebec Region. All in accordance with the Annex A of the RFSA.
All compliant Offerors will receive a SA.
The SA will be implemented from the date of the SA (around the beginning of April 2021) to March 31, 2023.
Total estimated annual expenses for all inspection and maintenance of marine structures: $300,000.00 excluding applicable taxes.
This PWGSC office provides acquisition services to the public in both official languages.
Suppliers may request a debriefing on the results of the request for supply arrangements process. Suppliers should make the request to the Supply Arrangement Authority within 15 working days of receipt of the results of the request for supply arrangements process. The debriefing may be in writing, by telephone or in person.
