Purpose of the RFI
Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is launching this Request for Information (RFI) in order to seek information and feedback from industry with regard to Part 4 - Draft Request for Proposal (RFP) for the On-Scene Control and Emergency Response (OSCER) vehicles.
The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to achieve the following:
a) Provide industry with an early opportunity to assess, comment and suggest changes to the RFP;
b) Determine the capability of industry to satisfy the requirements;
c) Request indicative costing information from industry in order to allow Canada to prepare its documents for Project Approval. Industry is asked to provide Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) pricing for as many items as possible.
d) Obtain industry feedback on any issues that would impact their ability to bid on the resulting solicitation and/or deliver on the department’s requirements;
e) Gather industry knowledge, expertise and recommendations with regard to best practices that would increase the success of the solicitation and/or identify any risks that would impact the solicitation;
f) Enhance competition, access and fairness of the resulting solicitation; and
g) Inform industry and the government to ensure that the formal RFP process moves forward efficiently and has a high probability of success.
Respondents are requested to provide answers and feedback related to Part 3 Draft - Departmental Procurement Strategy, Part 4 - Draft Request for Proposal and Part 5 - Questions to industry which contains questions for specific information being sought by the department.
Nature of the RFI
This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the award of any contract. As a result, potential suppliers of any goods or services described in this RFI should not reserve stock or facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI. Nor will this RFI result in the creation of any source list. Therefore, whether or not any potential supplier responds to this RFI, this will not preclude that supplier from participating in any future procurement. Also, the procurement of any of the goods and services described in this RFI will not necessarily follow this RFI. This RFI is simply intended to solicit information and feedback from industry with respect to the matters described in this RFI.
Nothing in this RFI will be construed as a commitment from PSPC to issue a solicitation for this requirement. PSPC may use non-proprietary information provided in this review and/or in the preparation of any formal solicitation document.
PSPC will not be bound by anything stated herein and reserves the right to change at any time, any or all parts of the requirement, as it deems necessary. PSPC also reserves the right to revise its procurement approach, as it considers appropriate, either based upon information submitted in response to this RFI or for any other reason it deems appropriate.
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.
