PWGSC FILE NUMBER E60ZN-15TSSB/B
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SUPPLIERS
The Government Electronic Tendering Service on Buyandsell.gc.ca/tenders is the sole authoritative source for Government of Canada tenders that are subject to trade agreements or subject to departmental policies that require public advertising of tenders.
Suppliers interested in submitting an arrangement in response to this Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) solicitation can access the RFSA documentation directly from this PWGSC Notice of Proposed Procurement (NPP) publication at: https://buyandsell.gc.ca/procurement-data/tenders
Bidders are reminded of the importance of reading the TSPS bid solicitation document carefully before submitting a bid.
This is the quarterly refresh notice for the TSPS Solutions Based Professional Services Supply Arrangements.
This RFSA will solicit: (1) new suppliers to become Suppliers for the Solutions Based Supply Arrangements under the TSPS Method of Supply; and,
(2) Suppliers who have a SA issued under RFSA E60ZN-15TSSB/B or Refresh E60ZN-15TSSB/B to qualify for additional Streams to be added to its Supply Arrangement.
Period: Closing Date: Evaluation Start: Estimated Award Date (Subject to Change) 1 September 30, 2015 October 1st, 2015 December 15, 2015 2 December 31, 2015 January 2nd, 2016 March 15, 2016 3 March 31, 2016 April 1st, 2016 June 15, 2016
BACKGROUND --------------------- This document will serve to renew the Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) in place for the provision of Solutions Based Professional Services and to maintain the current Supply Arrangements awarded under E60ZN-15TSSB/A.
Existing Suppliers are not required to re-qualify for any Categories for which they already have an SA although they must otherwise comply with the requirements of the bid solicitation.
Solution based professional services are services related to a particular activity or initiative that are required to address a specific professional services need, which are usually associated with a specified set of responsibilities. Professional services are purchased typically on a per diem basis and are related to a particular activity or initiative. Tasks can be for short or long periods of time and can be subsets of a larger project. Deliverables are well defined, often with specific timelines. Identified Users are looking for a consultant with direct or specialized knowledge and sufficient expertise to accomplish the work.
* TSPS also has a Task Based RFSA which is posted on https://buyandsell.gc.ca/procurement-data/tenders under Solicitation Number E60ZN-15TPS/C.
REQUIREMENT: ----------------------- This solicitation is a Request for Bids to satisfy Canada's requirement for the provision of Solutions Based Professional Services to locations throughout Canada, excluding any locations in areas subject to any of the Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements.
Each bid may result in a Supply Arrangement (SA).
This procurement vehicle includes five Streams of professional services.
Stream 1: Human Resources Services Stream 2: Business Services/Change Management Services Stream 3: Project Management Services Stream 4: Real Property Project Management Services Stream 5: Technical, Engineering and Maintenance Services
SA's resulting from this RFSA will not be used for staffing or for Temporary Help Services (THS) requirements.
The Supply Arrangement will remain valid until December 31st, 2016 or until such time as Canada no longer considers them to be advantageous to use them. The period for awarding contracts under the Supply Arrangement begins on the start date of the Supply Arrangement.
In as much as possible, PWGSC will issue a bid solicitation intended to replace the Supply Arrangements for the Services on an annual basis, although PWGSC reserves the right to choose to proceed with a different procurement vehicle for the requirement if it considers such action appropriate. Each such re-competition (a "renewal bid solicitation") requires all bidders, including those who may have received instruments under the previous solicitation, to submit a bid in response to the renewal bid solicitation in order to continue to provide services under its resulting Supply Arrangements.
SECURITY REQUIREMENT: -------------------------------------- There is a security requirement associated with this Request For Supply Arrangement. For additional information, see Part 6A - Supply Arrangement.
SET-ASIDE PROGRAM FOR ABORIGINAL BUSINESS: ----------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Part of this procurement may be designated by one or more Identified Users as set-aside under the federal government's Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business (PSAB). In these specific cases, (i) the procurement is set aside from the international trade agreements under the provision each has for set-asides for small and minority businesses, and (ii) as per Article 1802 of the AIT, the AIT does not apply.
In order to be considered as an Aboriginal Business under the PSAB, the Bidder must complete the Aboriginal Business certification contained in the Data Collection Component of the CPSS.
By executing the certification, the Bidder warrants that it is an Aboriginal business as defined in the Set-aside Program for Aboriginal Business.
LOCATION OF SERVICES: ------------------------------------ The document titled "Definitions of the National Zone, Regions and Metropolitan Areas" at the following link are incorporated by reference into any resulting SA, with the exception that the National Zone is to be considered as another Region: Http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/app-acq/spc-cps/dznrrm-dnzrma-eng.ht ml The following Regions and Metropolitan areas may receive Services under this supply arrangement where a Supplier is qualified to do so:
Regions: National Zone, Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Western, Pacific, National Capital.

OFFICIAL LANGUAGES: --------------------------------- The services to be provided will be delivered in one or both of the two official languages of Canada according to the requirements of the Identified User issuing a contract against the SA.
MANDATORY TECHNICAL CRITERIA: ---------------------------------------------------- The technical bid should address clearly and in sufficient depth the points that are subject to the evaluation criteria against which the bid will be evaluated. As the status and circumstances of each bidder is unique, it is the responsibility of each bidder to read all documents related to this solicitation, and to ensure that all mandatory criteria, Certifications, and elements required for bid validity are met in their bid submission.
SELECTION METHODOLOGY: ----------------------------------------- The Supplier Selection will be conducted per Tier, Region and Metropolitan Area, for each specific Category and Level of Expertise.
Each technically responsive arrangement will be recommended for the issuance of a Supply Arrangement on the terms stated in Component II.
Where an Aboriginal Bidder qualifies for both an Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal Supply Arrangement, only one Supply Arrangement will be awarded
CENTRALIZED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES SYSTEM (CPSS) ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ All suppliers that want to bid will have to establish an account in the Supplier Module of the PWGSC Centralized Professional Services System (CPSS) e-Portal. Instructions on accessing the Supplier Module e-Portal application are specified in the RFSA document published herein.
Suppliers will be required to submit a portion of their technical bid through the CPSS e-Portal Supplier Module.

The purpose of the grid is to assist Bidders with their bid preparation and bid submission.
