The Royal Canadian Mounted Police plans to upgrade the RCMP Air Services in British Columbia with the purchase of a new or previously owned twin engine, utility helicopter.

In order to ensure a successful procurement for the proposed helicopter, the RCMP will engage industry in a consultative process as the first step in this procurement. The consultative process includes One-on-One Sessions, a Draft Request For Proposal (RFP) and Third Party Consultations as required. Suppliers interested in participating in the consultative process are invited to attend these sessions. The topics of discussion will include the RCMP's requirements, the proposed selection criteria and the procurement process.

The purpose of the sessions is to obtain feedback from industry prior to the issuance of the draft RFP, The One-on-One Sessions will be held with suppliers individually and are tentatively planned between 01 and 05 June 2015.

All Helicopter Manufactures and Completion Centres with documented prior Police Completion experience only will be welcome. To participate in One-on-One Sessions, Industry must first sign and agree to the Industry Engagement Agreement.
