Before awarding a contract, however, 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 15 calendar day posting period.

If other potential suppliers submit a statement of capabilities during the 15 calendar day posting period that meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, the government will proceed to a full tendering process on either the government's electronic tendering service 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.

Background The Department of National Defence RMC Saint-Jean requires that the above mentionned services be delivered starting in August 2013.

Les services seront fournis pour une période d'un (1) an avec quatre (4) période d'une année en option. La valeur estimative totale du contrat excluant les options est de 1,300,000.00 $ (TPS et TVQ en sus).
