On June 1, 2013, the Government of Canada is moving its Government Electronic Tendering Service (GETS) from MERX to Buyandsell.gc.ca/tenders. Starting June 1, 2013, government departments and agencies that are required to publish their procurement notices and solicitation (tender) documents on GETS will publish on Buyandsell.gc.ca/tenders. PWGSC wants to ensure that all federal buyers are aware of the change and supported during the transition. Tom Ring, Assistant Deputy Minister, Acquisitions, has contacted your senior executives to inform them of the next steps. PWGSC’s Digital Engagement team is contacting buyers who have a MERX Notice Creation account to ensure that their tender documents are migrated to Buyandsell.gc.ca/tenders and to also ensure that suppliers get the information they need on the tenders they are following. Our transition team will be in touch with you if you have posted tenders on MERX that will be closing past June 1, 2013 to discuss the process for these documents and answer questions. For bid solicitations and amendments that you will publish on MERX before June 1, we ask that you please insert the attached notification to suppliers at the top of the Notice Description section. We encourage you to visit Buyandsell.gc.ca/tenders and get familiar with the site. Tenders will be added on June 1. For more detailed information, please consult the FAQs Web page or call the InfoLine at 1-800-811-1148. We look forward to working with you and your colleagues to ensure a smooth transition. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
