REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)

Based on a preliminary review of Medical Equipment and Medical Supplies (MEMS) procurement by government departments, Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is pleased to release the draft National Procurement Strategy for MEMS.

PWGSC's objective is to provide a single, consistent, national approach that will improve the ease and effectiveness of the procurement process for all stakeholders, including government departments, suppliers, and Canadians. You are invited to review the details and provide your feedback on the draft MEMS National Procurement Strategy as your insight will help form the Government of Canada's approach to the procurement of MEMS.

Responses to this RFI may be in either of Canada's both official languages, English or French. This RFI is not a bid solicitation and will not result in the award of any contract.

This RFI contains a draft National Procurement Strategy for MEMS.

There are two ways that you can provide us with your feedback

1) Once you have read the draft Strategy, you may respond to an on-line questionnaire at: http://tpsgc-pwgsc1.sondages-surveys.ca/surveys/osmepd/mems-suppl iers/langeng/

OR

2) E-mail your comments to: EMFM.MEMS@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca

The Office of Small and Medium Enterprises, PWGSC, is facilitating input from suppliers on this strategy and will provide consolidated responses, without specific supplier information, to the Commodity Team.

Thank you for participating in this Strategy.

This notice amendment has been raised to extend the closing date from June 8, 2012 to June 22, 2012. Delivery Date: 26/03/2012
