REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) PROCESS - An RFI document was posted on Buyandsell.gc.ca between October 10, 2013 and November 6, 2013 to inform potential Bidders of a DND requirement for HCPs and to obtain Industry input and feedback regarding the draft requirement definition and constraints pertaining to this requirement.
One-on-One Industry Meetings: Following the RFI, Canada met with Industry participants individually between November 25 and December 4, 2013 to listen to their concerns, recommendations and solutions. Canada will analyze and summarize Industry input for further use during the Bid solicitation development phase or to identify topics that still need to be discussed at other consultation sessions, if required.
Working Group / Individual Meetings: Following the one-on-one meetings, Industry participants were invited to attend a working group meeting, held on June 4, 2014. The working group meeting was comprised of representatives from Industry, DND, RCMP, and PWGSC to discuss specific issues, potential solutions, and recommendations related to the description of HCP tasks and the corresponding qualifications. Canada's aim of meeting with Industry participants was to analyze and summarize Industry's input for further use during the Bid Solicitation development phase or to identify topics that still need to be discussed at other consultation sessions, if required.
Following the working group meeting, and any subsequent engagement sessions, if required, Canada will document all industry issues, positions and actions. Industry input will be used for the development of the Bid Solicitation. Prior to the official Bid Solicitation being published on https://buyandsell.gc.ca/, a draft Bid Solicitation will be made available for final review only to those participants who have signed and complied with the Rules of Engagement.
Third Party Consultation: Third parties, such asIndustry associations, may also be consulted on an "as-and-when-required" basis to discuss industry issues and recommendations on industry standard practices.
FOLLOW-UP ACTIVITIES - In addition to the activities detailed above, Canada may, at its discretion, set up further consultation sessions with Industry to either follow up with additional questions, or to obtain clarification on any aspect of the input provided.
Industry members interested in participating in the rest of the industry engagement process, including any subsequent engagement sessions, and a review of the final draft Bid Solicitation, must sign and agree to the Industry Engagement Rules of Engagement and Dispute Resolution Process.
