This is a solicitation to request Standing Offers (SO). A SO is not a contract and does not commit Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) to procure or contract for any services. Any resulting SO constitutes an Offer made by an Offeror for the provision of certain Services to Canada at prearranged prices or a prearranged pricing basis, under set terms and conditions, that is open for acceptance by Identified User on behalf of Canada during a specified period of time.

A separate contract is formed each time a call-up for the provision of Services is made against a SO. Canada’s liability will be limited to the actual value of the call-ups made by the duly authorized Identified User within the period specified in the call-up.

PWGSC requires multiple security services for crown-owned, leased, and third party managed assets, multi-tenant buildings, and other PWGSC assets such as, but not limited to, engineering assets, bridges, dams, heating plants, and PWGSC-controlled underground infrastructure located across Canada through Standing Offer (SO) agreements with commercial entities.
