REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE SERVICES ON THE QUEBEC SIDE OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION

The National Capital Commission (NCC) wishes to retain the services of a Real Estate Marketing and Sales Firm or individual representing Real Estate Marketing and Sales Firms for the marketing and sale or the transfer of real property rights for properties located in the province of Quebec, specifically in the National Capital Region (NCR). Qualified proponents must be licensed to sell real estate in the province of Quebec, established in the business of real estate marketing and sales and be a member in good standing of the Multiple Listing Service® with full access to the MLS® where available. The main office of qualified proponents must be located in the province of Quebec. The NCC does not guarantee a minimum or maximum number of properties to be marketed under the standing offer agreement, as volumes are subject to fluctuation. Further information regarding the NCC can be found at www.ncc-ccn.gc.ca . One method of supply used by the NCC to satisfy the requirements of identified internal users is to arrange a Standing Offer Agreement (SOA) to provide goods, services or both to the NCC during a specified period. The identified internal users to be served may then be a delegated purchasing authority and may access the source of supply directly, as and when requested, by issuing purchase orders detailing the exact quantities of goods or services they wish to order from the Offeror at a particular time during the effective period of the Offeror’s offer and in accordance with the predetermined conditions. This method of supply is particularly useful in acquiring frequently ordered commercially and non-commercially available goods or services when the total volume or value of goods or level of services that may be required by one or more identified users can be estimated beforehand, but it is not possible at the outset to identify the exact requirements for any given user at a specific time in the future.

Please be advised that the quantity of goods and/or services and the estimated expenditure specified in the attached are only an approximation of requirements given in good faith. The making of a standing offer by the Offeror shall not constitute an agreement by the NCC to order any or all of the said goods and\or services. The NCC may make one or several purchase orders against a Standing Offer, each such purchase orders constituting an acceptance of said Standing Offer for the part of the said goods or services described in the purchase order. A request does not commit the NCC to authorize the utilization of a Standing Offer or to pay any cost incurred in the submission of offers, or cost incurred in making necessary studies for the preparation thereof, or to procure or contract for any goods or services. The NCC reserves the right to reject or authorize for utilization any offer in whole or in part, with or without further discussion or negotiation ADDRESS ENQUIRIES TO: Enquiries regarding this proposal must be submitted in writing to Allan Lapensée, Sr Contract Officer, via e-mail address – allan.lapensee@ncc-ccn.ca as early as possible within the solicitation period.
