The IT professional services will provide the RCMP with specialized assistance in the design and planning required to support the RCMP's convergence project on a national scale.

The technical specifications for the products in these Device Categories are described in Annex A (Requirement) and Offerors must offer products in all these categories that meet all the mandatory requirements.
Offerors are not required to be the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of any products to submit an offer, but for any given Device Category, it is mandatory that all the equipment proposed come from a single OEM.
a) Network Architect; b) Network Project Manager; and c) OEM Product Specialist.
The requirement is subject to a preference for Canadian services.
Canada will seek to select the offer which represents overall best value to Canada, established through the combined rating of technical merit and price. The selection of the Offeror will be determined on the basis of a 25% and 75% split between the technical and price components respectively. The offer with the highest combined rating score will be considered as the offer representing the best value.
To be considered, Offers must meet all the mandatory evaluation criteria. The rated evaluation criteria focus on Offeror experience with Original Equipment Manufacturers and product functionality in other end-user environments.
The financial offers must contain equipment prices from Published Price Lists (PPLs) and per diem rates for services, and also include a minimum/floor discount rate for the total Standing Offer Period, which will be applied to the PPL pricing each time a Call-up is made. The financial evaluation will be based on the aggregate offer prices for all products and services as detailed in the RFSO.
The evaluation process may result in the issuance of one Standing Offer or none, at the discretion of Canada. If a Standing Offer is issued, it will be for a period of three years from Canada's date of authorization.
There is a security requirement associated with this requirement. The Standing Offeror must hold a valid Designated Organization Screening and personnel will require appropriate RCMP clearance. The full security requirements are noted in the document. For additional information, consult Part 4 - Evaluation Procedures and Basis of Selection, and Part 6A - Resulting Standing Offer Clauses. Offerors should consult the "Security Requirement for PWGSC Bid Solicitations - Instructions for Bidders" (http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/app-acq/lc-pl/lc-pl-eng.html#a31) document on the Departmental Standard Procurement Documents Web site.
