REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FOR Real Property Services Management Contracts

FOR The Department of Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC)

NATURE OF REQUIREMENTS This is not a bid solicitation. This Request for Information (RFI) will not result in the award of any contract; therefore, potential suppliers of any goods or services described in this RFI should not prepare facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI. This RFI will not result inthe creation of any source list; therefore, whether or not any potential supplier responds to this RFI, it will not preclude that supplier from participating in any future procurement. This RFI is simply intended to solicit feedback from industry. The information obtained pursuant to this RFI may or may not be used in any Request for Proposal (RFP) at a future date. The Government of Canada will not reimburse any respondent for any expenses incurred in responding to this RFI.

BACKGROUND Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) manages one of the largest and most diverse portfolios of real estate in Canada. Since the mid-1990’s, the department has been conducting large-scale outsourcing of property management and project delivery services in order for PSPC to focus on its strategic management role. The successes achieved have prompted the department to explore if other areas of the real property business environment could be more efficiently delivered by way of alternative innovative solutions.

OBJECTIVE OF RFI The purpose of this RFI is to collect information from the industry and industry associations that will help Canada make decisions with respect to the potential sourcing of real property related services as listed in Annex A of this RFI.

TREATMENT OF RESPONSES Responses to this RFI will not be evaluated. However, the responses received may be used by Canada to develop or modify procurement strategies or to draft future procurement documents. Canada will review all responses received by the RFI closing date. Canada may, at its discretion, look at feedback at any time. However, considering that decisions need to be made, Canada won’t revisit their decisions based on ?late feedback?.

Review Team: A review team composedof representatives from Canada will review the responses. Canada reserves the right tohire any independent consultant, or use any government resources that it considers necessary to review any response. Not all members of the review team will necessarilyreview all responses.

Confidentiality: Although the information collected may be provided as commercial-in-confidence (and, if identified as such, will be treated accordingly by Canada), PSPC may use the information to assist in developing future requirements.

Respondents are encouraged to identify, in the information they share with Canada, any information that they feel is proprietary, third-party or personal information. Please note that Canada may be obligated by law (e.g. in response to arequest under the Access of Information and Privacy Act) to disclose proprietary or commercially-sensitive information concerning a respondent (for more information: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/a-1/).

Note on this extention: The intent of this extension (Dec 31, 2016) is that this RFI will serveas a two-way communications exchange with Industry until the end of 2016.
