Assessment of cost proposals related to the implementation of the NSPS and the NSPS projects; Provision of transaction advice and/or professional opinion regarding the implementation of NSPS, and procurement and project management activities; Assistance building and maintaining strategic relationships and the dissemination and implementation of lessons learned; Provision of support to Canada's contract negotiations, including providing advice regarding shipbuilding industry norms; and, Provision of due diligence advice.
The work will be conducted within the National Capital Region.
The client for this work is the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy (NSPS) Secretariat, of PWGSC. The Secretariat will raise tasks on behalf of Canada.
Specific conflict of interest provisions are included in this RFP, and will apply in any contract awarded as a result of this solicitation. Bidders are advised that the winning bidder may be required to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement with one or more of the entities working with Canada under the NSPS program (for example, the selected shipyards).
