General information A Supply Arrangement (SA) is a method of supply used by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) to procure goods and services. A SA is an arrangement between Canada and pre-qualified suppliers that allows identified users to solicit bids from a pool of pre-qualified suppliers for specific requirements within the scope of a SA. A SA is not a contract for the provision of the goods and services described in it and neither party is legally bound as a result of signing a SA alone. The intent of a SA is to establish a framework to permit expeditious processing of "individual bid solicitations" which result in legally binding contracts for the goods and services described in those bid solicitations.

Objective Invite suppliers to submit arrangements to become pre-qualified Suppliers under Terms and Conditions of EE517-150138/A.

Evaluation Procedures Arrangements will be assessed in accordance with the entire requirement of the Request For Supply Arrangements (RFSA) including the technical evaluation criteria. No financial criteria are evaluated under this RFSA. Financial criteria will be requested during "individual bid solicitations" sent directly to pre-qualified Suppliers of EE517-150138/A SA.

Services Description To inspect on an as-and-when-requested basis, for Public Works and Government Services Canada in behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, marine structures throughout the Quebec Region. All in accordance with the Annex A of the RFSA.

All compliant Offerors will receive a SA.

The SA will be implemented for a four-year period starting from the date of the SA to March 31, 2019.

Total Estimated amount of the SA : $1,200,000 for four years excluding taxes.
