OPERATE A TIPSTER LINE FOR THE REPORTING OF ILLEGAL FISHING ACTIVITY

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is seeking the services required to operate an anonymous tipster line. The tipster line will provide a toll free telephone service where the general public can make contact to report any inappropriate fishing activity they may observe.  The purpose of this Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) is to signal the government’s intention to award a contract for these services to Crime Stoppers, NL. Before awarding a contract the government would like to provide other suppliers with the opportunity to demonstrate that they are capable of satisfying the requirements set out in this Notice, by submitting a statement of capabilities during the ACAN posting period. If other potential suppliers submit a statement of capabilities during this ACAN posting period that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the government will proceed to a full tendering process on either GETS or through traditional means in order to award the contract. If no other supplier submits on or before the closing date, a statement of capabilities meeting the requirements set out in the ACAN, a contract will be awarded to the pre-selected supplier.
