Definition of Requirement
To contract for the supply of 444,900 doses of Measles, Mumps
and Rubella Vaccine from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015 with an
option to extend the term of the Contract by up to three
additional one year periods (Option year #1 from April 1, 2015
to March 31, 2016, Option year # 2 from April 1, 2016 to March
31, 2017 and Option year # 3 from April 1, 2017 to March 31,
2018) and the option to add additional users. This requirement
falls within the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Group Purchasing
Program for Drugs and Vaccines. Canada is acting as agent on
behalf of the provincial and territorial jurisdictions.
Designated Users will be obligated to purchase a minimum of 90%
of their estimated requirement. Any resulting contract will
include the option to add new users and to increase the quantity
required by up to 20% of the total estimated requirement to
accommodate the increased requirement of existing users.
A proposed "Split-Award" approach will be used. The Bidder
submitting the lowest priced responsive proposal for the
contract period (including option years) will be recommended for
award of a contract as follows :
60% if the price difference is 15% or less;
65% if the price difference is more than 15% and less than 20%;
70% if the price difference is 20% or more.
The second lowest Bidder will be recommended for award for the
balance of the quantities according to the price difference
proposed on the Bid if the price is considered fair and
reasonable.
At the sole discretion of Canada, acting as agent on behalf of
the provinces and territories, consideration will be given to
award 75% or 100% of the final total estimated quantity to the
low bid in the event that the price difference exceeds 25%.
